Things to do without a car

Picture a neighbourhood on the edge of a city. Dividing you from the city is a giant minimum security penitentiary farm field, on the other side is a conservation area. There is a small plaza with 6 stores and only 2 of any interest to teenagers. There was also a grocery store a bank a car garage and a hockey arena. So now, things to do without a car in a neighbourhood with nothing to do.
