Altamont City Park~ A New View

Welcome Festival of the Trees #53

The footpath bridge in autumn

at the Altamont City Park.

      The bridge on the west side of the park is now fully visible from the welcoming bench or the picnic table.

     This week city workers removed two rusted and unsightly pieces of 40-year-old playground equipment. They took with it the memories of my little brother playing on it for the first time, my own kids sliding down the slide, and my grandkids making themselves dizzy on the merry-go-round.

     The old equipment may be gone, but look at the view that is left!
