Our park celebrated 100 years this 4th. It has changed much through the years. This big climbing rock, some kind of plastic. The huge trees are far enough away, but cast a nice shade on the playground equipment. Most of the time.
I am not sure how old this lamp is, it is a concrete post. There are banners on each one to honor Tipton.
This is our city water tower. It's beside the ball diamonds and the hospital. You can see the creek . On one side of the creek is all this and the park , on the other is the golf course. My sister and I sit on a group of benches, at the turn of the creek, and just enjoy being out in the fresh air.
Hope all of you are safe . That you also had a great weekend. XO
Looks like a nice park. I love the banners on the light posts. Hope you will have a good week.

ReplyDeleteMunir, I to hope our park can last another 100 years. It has grown in size, with new equipment for the children to play on. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

ReplyDeleteSusie, If you ever get the chance, it a sweet little place to visit and there's a few eating places....free baseball games to watch, a clean park to stroll in. Lots of friendly people. You know like us kids that were raised humbly adore. xoxo,Susie
DeleteHappy 100th! What a lovely celebration for a lovely place. Wishes for a great week.
ReplyDeleteHi sweet buttercup, So glad you came by. I hope our little town will always cherish that park. The playground equipment has changed throughout the years....safer for one thing. Hope your week is a wonderful fun filled one too. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe park where our kids grew up playing is no longer there. It makes me so sad when I ride by.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me feel sad too. I love parks and school buildings....it is sad when they are torn down. The school I elementary school I attended has been turned into a church, which is great. xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh Susie..your hometown looks so inviting! Congrats on the 100th anniversary!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Thank you Gert. It is a pretty park. They have cut down dying trees, trimmed the bad limbs , and planted new trees also. Now younger people can watch those grow thru the years. xoxo,Susie
DeleteAlways nice to just relax and enjoy the scenery in a lovely park. Wow, 100 years, that is fabulous! Glad you got to be with your sis.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Jann, It is pleasant to get to be in the park. Especially in the summer and fall.xoxo,Susie
Deleteyour home town looks so quaint and sweet, like stepping back in time. I love it and I can see why you do too!
ReplyDeleteJoanne, If only we could go back in time.....when life was simpler. I love our town, but we could sure use some better walkway throughout our town.xoxo,Susie
DeleteHow convenient for the doctors at the hospital to get to the golf course! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the park and that old concrete street lamp! Awesome. Its great to have things around that long and still being used.
Tete, You are right about the golfing. I am so happy that the old lamp posts were not torn down all these years. Once our city torn down the street lights in town and then just a few years back , put up the same kind they torn down. Go figure.LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
