A leisure stroll along Massachusetts Street, which spans five blocks and features many dining, shopping and entertainment options. The community is also recognized as being a vital Midwest music scene and many venues feature live entertainment on the weekends.

Spring provides ample opportunities for festivals that include the annual Art in the Park. Considered a premiere event located in South Park, the venue features numerous items created by artisans along with offering live entertainment, food and family activities.
