A burgeoning downtown Tampa and its adjacent Channel District have been steadily building an eclectic blend of modern and classic, nature and technology, sports and the arts. Within a 2-mile radius, residents can take in an NHL game or top artist live in concert at the Tampa Bay Times Forum; catch a traveling Broadway production at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts or an independent film or classic at the historic Tampa Theatre; visit one of a half-dozen museums, art galleries and the world-class Florida Aquarium; or run, bike or walk an impressive collection of parks and pedestrian-friendly outdoor play areas, among them Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, Lykes Gaslight Park, and one of the city’s most recent additions, the Tampa Riverwalk.
