Parks & Nature

9 miles around the lake on bike path. Great for exercise and walking the dog. I (John) do all of my triathlon training around the lake. I especially like doing brick workouts (bike/run) here.

We love this downtown park. Kyde Warren Park always has something going on. Food Trucks, music, yoga/fitness and special events. They have a wonderful restaurant and water fountains to help keep things cool in the heat of the summer.

The biggest outdoor live music venue in Uptown. A must see if you like live music (mostly country) and love to drink cold beer. Food is also wonderful. They serve a weekend brunch as well.

We like to go and strut our stuff. This is a great get up and dance bar where no one cares if you "got moves like Jagger" or not. Drinks are very reasonably priced and the bands play all genres of music.
