Club sports and riverside hikes
There are a limited number of sidewalks in Brookside Park, so the neighborhood itself is entirely walkable. So when they need some outdoor recreation, neighborhood residents head to nearby Shoaff Park. Covering more than 184 acres on the banks of the St. Joseph River, Shoaff Park provides visitors with a playground, a splash pad, multiple pavilions, three walking trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, sports fields, tennis courts and a boat ramp for launching into the St. Joseph River. The park is also home to Shoaff Park Boathouse, which houses the G2 Rowing Association, offering rowing programs for all ages and ability levels, as well as the Shoaff Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course that is open to the public. Golfers can also take advantage of Riverbend Golf Course, just a few minutes northwest of the neighborhood, where they can play the 18-hole course and relax afterwards in the Riverbend Bar & Grille. The nearby Jackson R. Lehman Family YMCA provides indoor recreational opportunities for all ages, including workout facilities, after-school programs, team youth sports and educational classes.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
