NEIGHBORHOOD PARK

Across the street and down one block from our mobile home park is Sylvan Park. It’s a great place to have a picnic on a warm, sunny day, keep the little ones out of trouble for an afternoon, have a barbecue (there are barbecue pits), play tennis, or just play around on the big, open, green expanse. There was not a great deal going on the day I took these photos, but they will give you a notion.






Most all the paths are curvy.















A family enjoying the sun. Dad had a toy rocket that he would load on a spring loaded base, and the youngster would send it flying midst squeals of delight.












She wasn't really swinging -- just twisting around and around.

















But they were!










There's a soccer ball near the kid on the right which he is about to kick. His brother waits.








So dad kicked the ball, and the little one is chasing it.











No one on the slide set, but ...
















two youngsters were under it playing in the sand.
