Bittersweet Park — Attraction in Greeley

As far as outside space goes it's a good spot to get a breath of fresh air and your heart rate up, if you are in the area.

There is water to walk around which seems to be a luxury around here but I will add that I am not a local.

There was a fallen officer memorial which I found interesting, I carve wood as a hobby not professionally, so I am genuinely interested in sculpture. The stone figure looks at his/her feet.
