East 5th Ave, Downtown

East 5th Avenue is a stretch of businesses which are mainly government related, a couple of factories and a few railroad stops. There are not any residential areas until the street turns into West 5th East. There is a popular park though named Central Park which faces Camino Real and is very popular on the weekends and in the summer. Soccer matches, family get togethers and other events usually make the park pretty popular. There are plenty of small parking lots on the street but most of them are private and side street parking is always over crowded. So you might want to park over on the next block.
