text: Though small and often unnoticed Thomas Polk Park has to be one of my favorites in the city Especially at night when the flowing water is illuminated makes for an incredible sight that is tough to beat Even better is during the winter holiday season when the trees are trimmed with lights as it adds something even better to the atmospherennMy only complaint is that it would be nice if there were a way to escape what is happening around the park You are after all at one of the busiest corners in the QC so the traffic is a bit nuts The good news is that at night it is not bad and if you are in the midst of the water you can get away from it all somewhatnnStill if there was some sort of separation like at The Green it would be that much nicer Throw in some benches where you could relax that would be awesome For those of you with young uns you may want to keep a close eye on them because the park lacks any sort of protection around the water and they could easily fall in if they are the sort who do that sort of thing
