On
a
scorching
summer
day,
I
visited
Alms
Park
perched
atop
a
hill,
known
for
its
picturesque
views
and
serene
surroundings.
As
I
approached,
there
was
no
visible
parking
lot
in
sight,
but
I
managed
to
secure
a
spot
along
the
roadside.
The
road
was
lined
with
cars,
and
a
service
truck
hinted
at
preparations
for
an
event,
likely
a
wedding
set
to
take
place
in
the
pavilion.
This
pavilion,
situated
at
the
heart
of
the
park,
rested
on
top
of
a
mound.
However,
it
was
bustling
with
activity,
dominated
by
Latino
workers
and
other
guests.
Their
presence
made
it
difficult
for
me
to
explore
this
particular
area.
Opposite
the
pavilion,
a
pergola
provided
a
delightful
alternative.
It
offered
a
serene
overlook
of
the
airport
field
below
and
distant
mountains,
creating
a
captivating
view
that
contrasted
the
intense
summer
heat.
Further
southwest
within
the
park,
I
discovered
yet
another
overlook
area.
Here,
a
few
older
gentlemen
sought
refuge
from
the
scorching
September
sun,
sitting
on
the
hot
concrete
and
gazing
at
Luken
Field
and
the
horizon
beyond.
It
was
a
moment
that
seemed
to
embody
reflection
on
the
past,
appreciation
of
the
present,
and
contemplation
of
the
future.
As
I
ventured
deeper
into
the
park,
I
noticed
a
nature
trail
that
led
into
a
wooded
area
below.
The
temptation
to
explore
was
strong,
but
I
opted
to
save
it
for
another
day.
The
park
boasted
a
variety
of
amenities,
including
a
children's
playground,
picnic
tables,
and
grills.
Families
were
making
the
most
of
these
features,
creating
a
lively
and
inviting
atmosphere
that
I
didn't
wish
to
disturb.
Overall,
this
park
atop
the
hill
offered
a
pleasant
escape
from
the
summer
heat.
The
road
leading
to
and
within
the
park
was
well-shaded,
making
it
an
ideal
location
for
a
leisurely
walk
or
hike
any
day
of
the
week.
