The lake is perfect for spending a misty morning fishing while enjoying the lake's tranquility. Other parks include Horizon View Park, a relaxing neighborhood green space with a leafy athletic field, pickleball courts, play area and walking paths.Shorline Public School District serves students

On the weekends, residents can pick up new or used books at Third Place Books or stock up on fishing supplies at The Avid Angler. On Sundays from May to October, many locals attend the town center’s farmers market to buy local produce and crafts. The town center is also home to various dining options, like Honeybear Bakery. Located inside Third Place Books, this cafe offers hand-crafted pastries and sandwiches on freshly made bread. Just a mile from the community is the neighborhood hangout The Local 104.
