This park is named after Kristin Armstrong, former professional road bicycle racer and three-time Olympic gold medalist, the winner of the women's individual time trial in 2008, 2012, and 2016.

It's like I imagined the perfect place to hang out to live next to. Trees that have been there as long as people have been in the valley and a perfect public area for a perfect city. I've spent months of my life chipping golf balls at trees with my roommate, making our own par 3s, and reading books in hammocks and playing wiffle ball. Right next to the 'wilderness preserve' and the river, I will carry wonderful memories of this place for the...
