The season for picnics and country
drives is at hand. and those who re-
main in the city wonder where they
are to spend the sizzling afternoons
and evenings out-Of-doors. Vinewood
is always crowded and always noisy
and it takes but a little while to go the
rounds of Garfield, Central Park and
Cages Lake. Burnett's Mound is an
excellent place for evening parties ex-
cept for the strenuous exertion of
climbing it, and then a short distance
south and east of town there is new
park being opened that is still in it's
natural state of untamed ruggedness.
The land has brook running through
the one side and a level stretch of
clear grass on the other. On one side
is narrow footpath running along
the edge of the water underneath
overhanging rocks and gnarled tree
trunks. There are bluffs, with patches
of grove and alternating open spaces
that in a short time will utilized in
the development of children's play
grounds and it seems that there is a
plan for turning the low ground into
a large lake fed by the water of the
creek. In it's present state it is full
of cool retreats and pretty views, and
the fishing is fine. The ground is
part of an old farm and can be reach
ed by following the Kansas avenue
road to Twenty-fourth street and then
driving east few blocks. When the
place is opened it will be called Lake
wood Park" and is a recent gift to
the city.
