    Finish along the park paths for a very different pace a few blocks away.

Before you go

Game and concert days change the feel of these streets. This exterior route does not require a ballpark ticket.

These are desk-researched route ideas, not field-tested turn-by-turn or accessibility guides. Use the walking map, follow signs and crossings, and check current conditions and opening hours.
