The park is looking nice this time of year. When I was a kid 26 years ago the ponds around the park were mossy and green but, I have never seen them that gunked up. They removed the basketball court where my grandma took me to shoot my first big boy shots. They have also updated the play area with a splash pad area and removed the old concrete climbing area we all use to call the cheese area is all gone now. The park is beautifying but, not quickly enough for the growing young families that plan to stay here in Jackson.

People were driving down the closed road, through the park, anyway they could get out. It's also a bit of a pain to leave the playground area on brown if you are turning left going north out of the parking area. If a long line of cars is heading south on brown it takes forever to get out, unless someone is polite and let's you out. What was so bad about the roads before? We went to memorial day and 4th of July fireworks this year, we don't plan on going to labor day or any future unless they fix the...
