A great meeting and melding place with a slice of Americana Art! I enjoy stopping by here along the way from work, as this place is good for bringing prepared food to eat at one of the many picnic tables, doing a quick stretch and workout and to meet friends for a game of field sports or basketball. Team sports will often involve incoming groups and fans as well. The park can accommodate organizations, family and company picnics, the likes of whom may also utilize the park for all there is to offer! There’s a front office with attached restrooms and a larger restroom on the backside, near Arabella Street. The Americana Art is unique to see in any city park, tho here the replica buildings and deck areas double as offering small gathering spots and of the play island, playhouse features! The usual park playgrounds are also available outside the pond. Turtles and waterfowl can be seen all around the pond, by the island. I had to watch my step along the way! There’s covered bridge crossings, waterfalls and a little ship, where imaginations run wild, without ever leaving the port! The landscape with its features makes an excellent backdrop for photos. Whether to top off a get-together, or for special occasion photography, the choice of convenient locations could hardly be better! The parking lot is available for a sizable presence, with an additional lot and street-side parking along Arabella Street. My only negative here is the lack of natural shade tree cover away from the main parking lot. Then again, that could benefit the picture taking, with the tradeoff of more even brightness to capture the people, and with the created island and pond, fulfilling my need for naturalness, in a better light!
