Parks & Nature
Walk out on the break wall from this park and pass under the peace bridge, getting a unique view of the city. Or ride bikes, run or walk in the other direction on the bike path out to Unity Island. It is always cooler here in the summer, and recent renovations note the tie to the history of the Underground Railroad.
