The Lázaro Cardenas Park (also now known as The Tile Park) is a must-stop with unique mosaic designs embellished into its benches, columns, planters, and walls that turn it into an open-air gallery. At Olas Altas Farmers Market you will find one-of-a-kind items made by local artisans, fresh produce, local and international delights, live music and so much more!
