The park is open to pets, making it accessible for individuals traveling with their furry companions. As a recreation hub, the Lakeview Recreation Center includes facilities for sports and community activities, such as gymnasiums and courts for basketball, pickleball, and volleyball, as well as spaces for various classes and events.
