Playground? no
Trails? yes, paved
Other? fountain, history
We're learning to embrace all seasons! We came here after a week and a half of 3 back-to-back winter storms. We have been to this park several times in the past -- when visiting Transy's PumpkinMania, when attending an event at the Carnegie Center, or celebrating the kick-off of the painted book bench initiative. It's a downtown park with no playground but a lot of charm.
This fountain was donated for "the children of Lexington," which now includes my kids. It would be weird if such a fountain were constructed for children today. It was a little risque having them play among the naked statues.
"Booty!"
We brought the shovel along to play/shovel with.
After we found several neat tracks in the snow, Calvin made his own unique tracks
It was still cold outside, but icicles were starting to melt and drip
This building is used for AA meetings and other public meetings, but the sign on the door (from last spring) said that the meetings were suspended.
The boys enjoyed rear-end-sledding down this little hill on the way back to the van.
(Note: We visited all 88 LFUCG parks in the span of a Covid year -- mid-March 2020 to February 2021. These are not meant to be extensive reviews but more a record of our experiences. Eventually I will add hyperlinks to all the blog entries here)
