This place has a very special place in my heart for many reasons.
It's a beautiful place with lots of things for people of all kinds: play area for the kids, a large body of water for anglers, walking trail to name just a few.
But my affinity for this, more than anything else, is the memory of my late spouse and I enjoying a beautiful early May outing with our daughter, son-in-law and our two grandchildren just a week before she lost her valiant battle with cancer.
Whenever I drive by it I get a rush of sweet memories and am thankful that our hometown has such beautiful places for us to enjoy.
