Outdoor recreation is plentiful.
Bicyclists love the islands. Quartermaster Marina harbors fishing boats and upscale yachts, but those with smaller boats, canoes and kayaks can launch them off the ramp at Burton Acres Park. Kids join 4-H clubs, swim in the public pool in summer, become equestrians, play soccer and baseball. An athletic club draws all ages. Teens say they have it tough, with little to do past 8 p.m.
