Exploring Recreation Park and quick trips to more outdoor recreation
The neighborhood gets its name from Recreation Park, which spans over 200 acres of the eastern half of the area. “It tends to be pretty busy and well populated with families enjoying the park and the playground,” says Angie Rebennack, a Realtor with Keller Williams Pacific Estates. “There is a community center with classes for people of all ages as well as a historic amphitheater, dog park and, of course, golf course[s] that [are] historic as well.” The park is also the site for annual events, from the Long Beach Family Arts Festival to the Long Beach Bluegrass Festival, when people sing along to live music and dance with neighbors. And for a change of pace, nearby Colorado Lagoon has a swimming area, and Long Beach’s shore is about 2 miles away.
