Perkerson Park

Best known for the ultimate frisbee course and the homeless who hang out here, I like to visit the park for nature walks. There are often a lot of kids on the playgrounds and sometimes folks have parties at the grilling areas and picnic tables. If you wander from these things, you'll bump into frisbee folks, so watch out for discs flying through the air.

There's a nice creek that runs through the park, plenty of green space with empty grassy areas, and then the woods, which are what keep me coming back. There are wild flowers and mushrooms and squirrels, and if you miss the living in the suburbs like I sometimes do, this is an okay (though not always peaceful) place to get your green fix.

There's always been ample parking when I've gone.
