Recreation Park takes its name from the green space at its heart. The city bought the land in the 1920s, and today the park holds the 18-hole Recreation Park Golf Course, the Billie Jean King Tennis Center, historic Blair Field, a dog park and a bandshell that hosts community events. Colorado Lagoon is close by for an easy swim or a walk along the water. The streets are a mix of Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revival homes from the early to mid-1900s, alongside duplexes, apartment buildings and condos built mainly in the 1980s. That range suits a lot of owners. Some are upgrading into a character home they plan to restore. Others are downsizing into a condo close to the park, managing a family home they inherited, or holding a small income property with 2 to 4 units. Daily life stays local. The shops and cafes of 7th Street and the dining along Anaheim Street are minutes away, and Retro Row on 4th Street is a short drive. Schools are part of Long Beach Unified School District, and Wilson High School sits right next to the park on 10th Street.
