Dunne Park

The reason why I’ve spent so much time at this particular park is a matter of convenience rather than preference… it’s just a five minute walk away from the high school, the library, and, when she lived near there, my cousin’s house. But it’s only an okay park.
It can be nice to relax at on fine days… but you frequently have to put up with the aroma of dog poop (make sure you check before you sit). There is at least a wide expanse of grass, with a few large trees for shade, although they’re not really in the parts of the park you want to sit at. If you feel like doing the picnic/​barbeque thing, there’s a patio for that, as well… but it’s fairly rundown and the grills are more than a little rusty.
The play structure there is pretty generic. I like the swings… they’ve got that old, classic thing going on, with authentic squeaks and everything.
It has bathrooms. I’ve never used them, because I assume they’re kind of gross. Could be great, though. I don’t really know.
There’s also a «Club House,» but I don’t really know what it’s for. Events, I guess?
The second best part of Dunne Park CAN be the small rose garden. I say «can» because the garden only seems to be tended (sort of) half of the time. There are plenty of crawly critters in there, so be careful if you feel like picking one of the few perfect roses you find.
THE best part of this place is that the fault line runs through it down the gray dirt path. You can actually see it. It’s pretty cool.
As a bonus, the ice cream man rides by on his bike pretty frequently. Watch for him on a hot day.
