The park also has access to the paved Greenway Trail, which winds along the creek and allows access to a 230-mile trail network that sprawls across the city. Visitors cast lines in the lake that is stocked with fish. Also within the neighborhood, Shady Lane Park provides about 5 acres of green space for people to jog, practice yoga or hold picnics.Public schools within walking distance
