Some nights the moon is there just under our arm when we turn to breathe. We leave our towel close by. The dressing rooms are heated and the showers hot. We ooze into the car and zing back to life when we hit the Congress Avenue bridge and see the Christmas lights and the Capitol sending us best wishes for a cheery holiday. A shaded playground complements the baseball diamond where weekly tournaments have been known to bring out several generations at a time.

The Hike and Bike Trail runs parallel to the park, and a walk by the river in an easterly direction will take you to a delightful little footbridge. Of course, you can get a completely undisturbed view of the Holly Power Plant if you want, but the view across Town Lake to the south bank is prettier. A boat loading dock is provided for canoes and small rowboats. All in all, Fiesta Gardens is an remarkably pristine place to plunk down your kit and kaboodle on a lazy afternoon any day of the week.
