There’s retro fun to be had at Roxbury Lanes, where you can bowl and vie for prizes in the arcade, and Southgate Roller Rink, originally built as a boxing arena in 1920. Picnic, play basketball, or stroll along a foot reflexology path at Steve Cox Memorial Park, or take a refreshing walk through the woods at Seola Park.

Eat and Drink

Any time of year, appreciate the vintage ski lodge vibe at the Alpine Diner & Bar, and food that hits all the classic diner notes. It shares a space with Big Mario’s Pizza, where you can try the Dude, featuring a combo of jalapeños, pineapples, and tomatoes drizzled with mozzarella and ricotta cheeses. Savor Latin American flavors—think sweet plantains, handmade empanadas, and arepas—at Cocina Casera, or grab a craquelin-covered cream puff at Puffy Pandy, an adorable panda-themed dessert shop. For the only pro wrestling–themed sports bar in town, head to the vibrant Lariat Bar.

Shop

The ace in the hole for disc golf players is Emerald City Discs, where you can find a large selection and knowledgeable service. (Want to test your new gear? Dick Thurnau Memorial Park has a course.) Stock up on international ingredients at Hung Long Asian Market, Roba’s African Store, and La Típica Oaxaqueña.
