Gallagher Park — Local services in Central Core

We were here for the 2018 Folk Fest. Always a fun time! The hill was fortunately greener than some years (thanks to a steady supply of rain this summer), and the weather was sunny and hot, so getting up and down the hill was not a dusty or muddy or slippery affair (though, because of the heat, it did make me huff and puff).

Please clean up after yourself, and don't...
