This
place
is
a
relaxing
spot
for
a
picnic
by
the
water
or
to
simply
sit
and
enjoy
the
scenery.
The
property
has
a
time
warp
quality
to
it.
It's
quaint,
with
a
friendly
old
soul
with
just
a
hint
of
danger.
Danger?
Wait...
What's
danger
doing
in
a
park
geared
towards
children?
As
you
might
have
guessed,
the
question
of
danger
didn't
cross
the
minds
of
the
park
designers
in
the
era
this
park
was
built.
There
is
a
huge
playground
and
sandbox
with
the
type
of
swing
sets
and
jungle
gyms
that
were
state
of
the
art
50
years
ago,
the
kind
that
every
stand
up
comic
of
a
certain
age
has
referenced
at
some
point
in
the
development
of
their
set.
Who
can
resist
a
tall
swing
set
with
beefy
chains
and
a
strappy
seat?
Not
me.
Feels
like
it's
time
for
a
disclaimer:
Use
with
caution,
and
at
your
own
risk.
You'll
likely
avoid
injury,
but
you
won't
avoid
a
head
on
collision
with
fun.
There
is
a
little
park
office
at
the
top
of
the
hill.
A
stairway
is
dug
into
the
natural
elevation
and
made
from
native
stones.
It's
a
grand
staircase
dressed
in
rocky
camo,
which
seems
unremarkable
until
you
take
a
moment
to
realize
the
size
and
scope
of
the
structure.
It's
pretty
cool,
but
OK
I'm
making
it
sound
like
the
great
pyramid
of
Giza
or
something.
To
be
clear
it
most
certainly
is
not.
But
it's
kind
of
cool
to
appreciate
this
humble
stairway.
It
is
far
larger
than
it
needs
to
be,
but
at
the
same
time,
unobtrusive.
In
fact
you
might
miss
it
if
you
don't
look
closely.
If
you
do
take
notice,
it's
not
going
to
cause
any
goose
bumps,
but
it
is
interesting.
The
question
of
how
I
can
give
5
stars
to
a
nearly
dilapidated
creekside
park
might
come
to
mind
and
if
it
does,
please
understand
I
am
framing
this
rating
within
the
context
of
this
rapidly
disappearing
class
of
parks
from
the
previous
century.
From
that
perspective,
this
little
park
is
a
banger.
