Neighborhood Park Perspective looking West. The entire neighborhood pivots around and focusses on the central park-green. The park includes a football/soccer/lacrosse field, tennis court, totlot-play strucure, sand volleyball courts, and a shelter for small gatherings. Most homes front either the central park-green, or focus on boulevard streetscapes, ponding and amenity settings.
