Journal of Place 3 -- the smaller park

On Thursday, my mother and I decided to explore another park that is within walking distance of our house -- Lynndale Park. The walk there was a little bit longer, and less scenic. It took about 50 minutes to get there with our dogs. Within the park, there are a few playgrounds, some baseball fields, and even a small amphitheater. There are also lots and lots of trails that weave through the park: some of which are asphalted, most of which are graveled. However, the overall area of the park is so small that we walked on every single trail within the span of an hour. It is a pretty park, especially now that the leaves are turning golden, but not interesting enough to merit a second visit anytime soon (at least by walking there. We might drive there with my brother and father one time just to show them what it is all about.) The structures built are interesting, and indubitably useful for kids and events, and even for my mom and I (we swung on the swings for a few minutes).  Ultimately, this walk was much more enjoyable than sitting at home would have been.

Here are a few pictures I took from our walk at Lynndale Park.
