The Park that Time Forgot

At the end of our block is a small, neglected public park, used mostly as a place for neighborhood teens to drink after dark.

It's so secluded that I didn't even know it was there until we had lived in our house for over a year.

It's overgrown, strewn with litter, and the equipment is in disrepair.

But the park has two things going for it which make it worth visiting.

First, there is a huge tree stump that the kids like to climb on.

And second, at times during the summer, the creek running through the park is inhabited by frogs.

And really, what more can you ask for?
