Johnston Memorial Park — Attraction in Johnston

A friend and I walk in Johnston Memorial Park at least 3 times a week, depending on the weather. If it's just a passing shower we use a "golf" umbrella", hugh! Sometimes it clears out, sometimes it ends up pouring. We leave. This park is great because it's like a nature walk. My friend and I have ducks, frogs, turtles and geese and sometimes sea gulls. Plenty of birds to see. There's also squirrels who wait to be fed. This is against the rules of the park, but, there's always 1 who doesn't care. No dogs in the park per state ordinance. Also no bikes, scooters, skate boards, mini-cars or anything like that on the walking trails. There is one track you can ride the above mentioned and only that track! There are benches for sitting and rest rooms which open in the Spring. Due to virus park has been closed, but people insist on walking, anyway. They are told to leave or the police will be called. It is a State ordinance! Please don't ruin it for the rest of us.! Today's paper says parks are opening tomorrow. We shall see. There is also a 1 mile hill walk and a nature walk across the street. Try the nature walk it's great! It was an old boy scout camp Troop 200. Thank you for ;listening, respectfully,...

Not much to offer. Maybe add a skatepark that would probably lead to a good time. Instead of a 6 million SOCCER FIELD that was built and poorly built. The park is boring still the same 35 years later. PUT A SKATEPARK IN THE SKATEPARK WILL GIVE OTHER KIDS A CHANCE AT A SPORT NOT TEAM RELATED ONE. LISTEN TO THE TAX PAYERS WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT. THE MAYOR FIGURES THAT IT CAN'T MAKE HIM MONEY NOT THE TOWN BUT HIM . SEEING THAT A 5TH GRADER COULD DO A BETTER JOB. SOMEONE TAKE HIS PLACE VERY SIMPLE JUST LOWER THE TAXES AND HE IS OUT ON HIS CORRUPT BACK SIDE. PROVIDENCE HAS 2 MAYBE 3 OF THEM AND ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE THERE. IT WOULD JUST BE TO MUCH OF A GOOD TIME INSTEAD OF WALKING IN...

Motivation......That's what keeps me coming back again and again.

As I walk through this beautifully renovated landscaped park. There is vigorous activity.

People of all ages,families,retirees like myself walk,run hike...and just have fun.

There are areas which I feel sentimental..where the plaques of our honored are proudly displayed. I always take the time to peruse and say a silent prayer.

It seems that this is a very active recreational area in the community.

There is a baseball field,a playground.ect.

I've also noticed some groups congregate.I guess they were walking groups.

Anyway..Just take the time out of your hectic day. Get into a zen...tie up those sneakers and pound...
