- The newest park of the river is called “The Pearl.” It was an old huge beer plant turned in to a very large complex for living, dining, etc… — You must visit this area early morning Saturday or early Sunday for the farmers market. https://g.page/pearl-brewery?share (It is not far from the house). The best place for free parking is the garage building here: https://g.page/garage-at-pearl?share — You will find these locations within the Pearl (walking distance) that I recommend:
