Silver Lake

It is named after the lake that spans the community and provides residents with numerous spots for outdoor recreation.

 

Golf and tennis enthusiasts will especially adore Silver Lake. Along Lakewood Road, you can play singles or doubles at the Silver Lake Tennis Courts. A short drive away (along Victory Boulevard), you can reserve your tee time at the Silver Lake Golf Course. In addition to these top amenities, there is also a dog park, sports fields, and hiking trails.
