With about one-third of its acreage dedicated to open areas and four city parks, Seven Hills offers a perfect place for youngsters to enjoy sports and other outdoor activities, according to representatives for developer Silver Canyon Partnership.

The parks feature amenities such as basketball and tennis courts, soccer and baseball fields, volleyball courts and playgrounds. Each park is designed to complement the surrounding desert terrain.

Other outdoor areas include tree-lined walking trails, shaded rest areas, fountains, covered picnic areas and pavilions. Most of the community's neighborhoods interconnect with parks and walkways.
