Westchase Park

This is the fourth park of the day we set out to find. One was missing I guess gone. I have an old map. Another was under construction. This one was adjacent to Sneed elementary school. It looks like it is also used as a school playground if you look at the times it is open (pen). We visited on a Sunday.

Noticed that one of the cars parked along the street had been burglarized. While I was taking photo the owner came out and discovered his broken window.

Harwin Park

Something really stinks in the garbage can.

We were the only people at the park despite all the cars in the parking lot. Looks like this is overflow parking for the church across the street.

The park has a small play area with some toys. There is one riding toy that is a duckhead. It is kinda weird cuz to play on it the rider sits on the face/bill.

The park also has a walking trail. The city is naturally landscaping around the path. In time this will make a very scenic place to walk.

Carverdale

The second park of the morning. This one has no place to park. If you drive off the paved road you will probably need a tow truck to get you back on the road. Not much here either. There is a futuristic fenced backstop. Kinda neat looking. But how much fun is a backstop. We didn't walk around here either. We were afraid to park. Dicided to drive on to a third park. Fresh Meadows. We didn't even stop there. We saw quite a few young people that looked to be partying. And I don't mean a Sponge Bob pinata party. Just didn't seem like a good time to stop even for just a photo of the sign.

Independence

This park has a covered basketball court, a playground area, bathrooms and a large open area. Today many adults were playing soccer. We didn't walk around the park because of all the people playing soccer. The park seems forgotten. Across the street is a vacant building with quite alot of graffiti.

Boone Road

It looked like it was gonna rain. We got here at the same time the ole city Honey dipper truck was working. The park has some playground toys and a covered picnic/gazebo. The tables were occupied with several people sleeping. Must have a late check out time cuz they were still in their sleeping bags. We walked the one mile trail. There were several people running. This park has a very large area. It has the potential to be a very nice place. It is also very close to the Hong Kong market. Another really fun destination.

Zube Park

One day a month they have free train rides in the park. We went to ride the trains. It was very hot. There were many people waiting to ride. Lots of children. (Lance and Miles were most annoying.) Where is Super Nanny when you need her. Be Good, Be Good

Also a group of bike riders were loading up to leave as we sat under a shady picnic table on the play area on the other side of the park.

Alief Amity Park

Decided to go to park early in the morning. The grass was still wet with dew. The park has a very cute gazebo. It appears to be a pre-fabricated type. It is made of metal instead of the wooden ones in the other parks. This park has lots of picnic tables and a number of them are covered. There are several horseshoe pitching courts, a covered basketball court, and a very small playground with two swings and a slide. It would be nicer if it had a walking path. My shoes/toes got wet from the dew as I walked across the grass.

Memorial park

We walked around the Seymore something exer- trail. I think it is 3 miles in length. I was looking for a sign to photograph. I found several with the golf course and even one for a croquet course. There were even people playing croquet. It was a very warm and muggy day. Thankfully it didn't rain on us. It did rain quite alot later. I brought my new camera in hopes of using it. Didn't get much of a chance. This picture was taken with old trusty.
