Henderson Elementary School, Balboa Place and a Masonic lodge, Downtown Elmwood is the name affectionately given to a commercial district of roughly 14 acres – centered on S Edgefield Ave and Ferndale Ave – and comprised of dozens of small businesses, several places of worship, restaurants and even a recording studio.

Elmwood Parkway

Did you know 16-acre Elmwood Parkway connects Tyler Station to Kiest Park?!

“This expansion of the Elmwood Parkway trail makes it possible to ride a bike from Tyler Station to Kiest Park entirely via trails and bike lanes.

The trail connects to the Kiest Park Loop Trail, which ends at Rugged and Pentagon Parkway. From there, pedestrians and cyclists could take Five Mile Parkway, then a zig-zag of residential streets and cross Hampton to the Kiestwood Trail, although there is no bike lane.”
