However, there are numerous parks and green spaces- even public beach access that is tucked in between the blocks that are great places to bring your kids, your pets, or to go to by yourself! Don’t get too down if you don’t have your own tennis court on your property because there are public courts scattered throughout the neighborhood! You’ll also be happy to know that there are trails winding through and around Altamont. It wouldn’t be a real North Shore neighborhood if there wasn’t some sort of trail nearby!
