Slightly off the beaten path is our little gem(among many) Emerson Park. Lot’s of grass, but that’s just me. Plenty of paraphernalia for the kids to climb and get high on. If they slip and fall and crash to the ground… it’s ok. It’s soft. Run and play but bring your own water. No potable fountains here. :( Bring your balls and you can have a great time swishing them through the nets that hang from the hoops that stick out from the backboards atop the poles that are planted in the earth next to a slab of gravel mixed with petroleum production by-product and painted with lines that indicate your position in time and space. So settle in for a long winter’s nap but then wake your ass up and get outside and recreate. This park is a perfect little peaceful retreat.
