South Park

A habitat for hip families.

South Park has charm written all over it. Stroll around Fern Street to find quaint cafes, cute kids boutiques and a great assortment of restaurants. Take a moment to admire the historical craftsman homes in the area before digging into a great meal. South Park is a quiet, low-key place to relax in between tourist attractions.
