Where to go near Nehyam for some time outside

Outdoor recreation is a short distance away from the neighborhood. Houghton Park is a major community hub with space for baseball, soccer, tennis and basketball, along with a skate park, playgrounds and picnic areas. The park is also busy during the annual Uptown Jazz Festival every August, when people come to hear live music, order from food vendors and chat with community leaders at information booths. You might visit DeForest Park to play on the pickleball courts or hike the trail that leads into the wetlands. When people want a beach day, they drive around 10 miles down to the Long Beach shore.
