Henry S. Lindsley Park

This little jewel is located just across the street from the Rose Medical Center. I really like this park, not only because I walk my dog there every morning and afternoon, but because it is just the right size.
Because of it’s location, it’s not super kid heavy during the warm months, but there is a little playground. There’s a path that makes a loop around the park. There are tennis courts, a gazebo-​ish thing, numerous picnic tables, a softball field and one of those old wooden physical fitness courses the government used to put in parks.
There’s lots of really large, old trees in the park and in the summer, they even put a porta potty up in its only little covered area. I can’t wait for the spring because I plan on coming here to eat outside with my doggy.
Another thing about this park that i like is the super secret hobo hideaway in the juniper bushes. Although, now it’s not going to be much of a secret. A hobo hollowed out a section of juniper bushes and was sleeping there for a while. He’s abandoned it, but I can’t help but think how cozy that must have been for the tuckered out hobo every time I walk past it.
I just can’t get enough of this park. It’s clean, it’s got lots of options and most importantly, it’s right across the street from a hospital if you pull a groin muscle while using the physical fitness course.
