The East side practically has a park and a swimming pool every five blocks. Try Metz park where they have cheap classes for all ages, basketball, baseball, soccer fields, a swimming pool and a rec center. The rec center is air conditioned with fooseball, a pool table and clean restrooms. Outside the rec is a free water park for the young'uns.
The hike and bike trails are in pristine condition since they don't get the wear and tear that the trails get on the west side of I-35.
