The lately acquired City Park has
already become a much frequented
resort. especially on Sunday. Quite
number of picnics have been held
there. and all seem TO be immensely
pleased with the public acquisition.
Many residents Of the city were not,
until recently, aware that such a
beautiful and romantic spot existed
50 near their own doors. It's riverside
convenience is grand, with great pine
trees on the edge Of the abrupt banks,
the gorge Of the South Fork below
with great shade trees overhanging,
the Falls of the Kinnickinnic at the
confluence Of the two streams, and
the thickly set grove Of oaks upon the
level area Of the park, are salient fea-
lures. An old driveway has been i'm
moved to the extent of looping of
.overbanplnr limbs and one can drive
around through the larger part Of the
grove quite conveniently. Some evil
dences Of police control appear in
several warning signs: $40 fine for
hitchfng a horse to any Of these trees,
and s. fine for shooting on these
grounds. The trees over many parts
Of the park are as thick as the hair
ON a dog and many of them could be
conveniently appropriated by an act
of the city dads dedicating them for
hitching posts The tops might be
cut of of a number here and there
leaving the stump about feet high
and an augur hole near the top would
he an evidence that it wasn't worth
$40 and be an invitation for a hitch.
