Klyde Warren Park

Formerly a freeway overpass, this 5.2-acre park has become a popular outdoor spot for green-seeking urbanites. Construction began in 2009 and was completed in October 2012. Lightweight soil minimizes the stress on the structure, and trees are planted in trenches to allow their roots to grow to a controlled length. The park hosts concerts, games and other events as well as food trucks. On-site eateries include a food stand called Relish and a glittery restaurant, Savor.
