  Just down the street from the restaurant is the scenic and serene Apollo Community Regional Park. Various trails, playgrounds, and picnic tables pepper the blossoming greenspace, which was named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts. With 54 acres and three sprawling lakes, your mid-morning stroll will be accompanied by dozens of geese, swans, ducks, and other fauna native to the region. Before you punch in the next destination on your GPS, take a detour down the famous Musical Road located at 3187 West Avenue G. The first of its kind in the United States, the road mechanism was originally constructed by Honda as a marketing stunt. With expertly placed intermittent grooves, your car will activate the road to play a familiar tune-the William Tell Overture. You've never listened to music in your car like this.
