Locals make sure to hit the annual NAS Jax Air Show to see the Blue Angels, who started their performing careers at this show. Ortega Hills residents enjoy hanging out at Fleet Reserve and playing some darts. On hot weekend days, check out the Ortega Hills Playground park, a great place to relax or grill up some burgers.
