Mark Park

These are some pictures from the Mark Park without any children. It had rained, so the ground is messy looking. I hear they have done more work to the front and planted some trees. How exciting!! I can't wait to see!
This is a picture of the sod farm with the Mark Park in the background.
Here is the swimming dam with the water fountain. There is also a fishing dam. I was told they dug a stream between the two dams and put a bridge across. That sounds impressive!
This is a picture of "Blase's Place". St. Blase is my little brother who died 25 years ago from SIDS. He was just a couple of months old. Mom came up with the idea of calling the little kids area Blase's Place to match the rhyme of Mark Park.
Here is the rest of the park. It has little swings, big swings, the pirate ship, teeter-totters, monkey bars off the slide play area. I am not sure what else they plan on adding later on. The grass is wonderful to walk in so the kids can play barefooted. There is blue chips around the play area, swings, teeter totter and ship. It looks like water around the pirate ship. The guys put in a "plank" to walk so you can jump from the pirate ship into the "water".
