With nearly 30 percent of our land forever protected and naturally preserved, you’ve got every reason to head outside and play. Explore the 140 acres of open space plus the adjacent Al Johnson Wildlife Area. Learn something profound from the native oak trees. Or hit the miles of trails on mountain bikes (but remember to yield to the jackrabbits). Nature breeds happiness. This is the place where it happens all the time.

When you are living in one of Americas best small cities, the possibilities are endless. Whether it’s catching up with neighbors at one of the four neighborhood parks. Taking off with friends for a stroll around Pleasant Grove Creek. Or hanging at the weekend farmers’ market or grooving at an outdoor concert. This is the kind of community that makes you feel as if you belong to one great, big happy family—naturally.
