Downtown Palafox Market is a must for a stopping point to see the sites and visit a ton of vendors about their wares. Saturday mornings it's the place to be. Bring your pet as pets are welcome to walk the stretch of the market. Check the city calendar as special events planned may affect their days of being open.

Navy Federal is one of the largest employers in the area. Their recreation park is for anyone's use. It's a great safe place for kids, a place to walk the dogs and just to sit and watch others play their sports. Plan a day - with a picnic and just spend the day there.
