A flaming preying mantis guards the Downtown Container Park, which is exactly what it sounds like: a playground park surrounded by stacked shipping containers housing a group of unique boutiques, shops, and restaurants you can't find elsewhere in the city.\n\nFood options include barbeque at Ern's, frozen treats and sweets at Sasa and SweetSpot, and gourmet twists on hotdogs, tacos, and popcorn. Most boutiques are geared toward women's fashion accessories, but there is also a toy store, a Disney art store, and a general store. \n\nPlenty of stores to explore, a playground for kids during the day and adults at night, and alcoholic beverages available around every corner and in every form, from draft beers at the hotdog stand to frozen spiked pops at the popsicle place.\nWorth a visit, lots of nooks to explore, a stage set up for live music, and free parking on Sundays.
