Stay close to home for an authentically good time.

While Park Meadows is a mere 15-minute drive away, Stepping Stone puts you even closer—as in ride your bike close—to some pretty stellar wining, dining, and shopping opportunities. And better yet, most of the shops and restaurants on Mainstreet are one-of-a-kind and locally owned.

For Parker residents, Mainstreet provides the antidote to predictability, with its funky blend of modern and quaint Victorian architecture, cool boutiques and coffee shops, distinctive restaurants, and an acclaimed performing arts center.

Whether you’re slipping out for an evening with friends or to shop for a birthday present, Mainstreet Parker will always surprise you with its authentic and unexpected offerings. Below are a just few suggestions to consider while planning your next outing. For an extensive directory of Parker’s shopping and dining venues, check out this website featuring the best of Parker.

Save time and gas. Support the local economy. Oh yes, and have a great time.
