Stadium District offers hiking trails, arboretums and waterside views

There are plenty of places to get out and enjoy the outdoors in the Stadium District, such as Garfield Park. Here, you'll find a children's play area, a grassy lawn for soccer and Garfield Gulch. This large nature preserve has trails under canopies of evergreen trees, making it feel like you're on a weekend hiking trip, not in the middle of your neighborhood. When you're looking for waterfront relaxation, check out Thea's Park. This casual park on Commencement Bay is perfect for dog walking and people-watching while you enjoy the sunset.

Another huge draw to the community is Wright Park. This public green space encompasses an arboretum where you can walk or hike through mossy woodland. There's also an athletic area, a kids' play area and a spray park where kids can cool off during the warmer months. Wright Park is also home to a beautiful Victorian-style greenhouse.

Burgers, brews and neon-lit pharmacies in the local business scene

In the Stadium District, several shops and restaurants have served the neighborhood for decades. Ranko's Pharmacy is one of these longstanding places, offering pharmacy and postal services for 85 years. The colorful exterior and large sign will take you back in time as you step through the pharmacy's doors. You can also get a retro feel at Parkway Tavern, a neighborhood watering hole that opened its doors in 1935. Parkway Tavern has been an almost-century-old favorite for drinks and pub grub with its bright neon sign and its wood-paneled walls with wooden draft taps.

Frisko Freeze is another retro landmark in the neighborhood. In business since 1950, this throwback joint has been dishing up burgers, fries and malts from its drive thru. If you need a morning pick-me-up, visit another fun neighborhood hangout, Cosmonaut Coffee. Start your day at the colorful, quirky coffee shop with a handmade espresso drink and local pastry.
