Neighborhoods
The Liberty Wells / Central City neighborhood has a lot of places to grab food, dessert, and coffee. The Liberty Park is within walking distance from the Airbnb, and is a great place to go for a walk, bike ride, roller skates, or skateboard. The Aviary (Bird zoo) is also located inside Liberty Park (SW corner), and is a great place to visit. People gather on Sundays for drum circles at the park.
