A walk through the park this afternoon confirmed my feelings for it. Although not grand by any scheme, it truely is a relief after the hustle and bustle of a work week. People drive for an hour on a crowded, hectic freeway to get that kind of feeling. I just take a nice stroll home and am instantly satisfied.

It really needs some WORKING WATER FOUNTAINS, though!

The fountain was repaired last summer and will be on again soon.

Patterson Park is very nice, indeed. I remember when it wasn't as kept up as it is now - it used to be a huge haven for hookers. Not anymore, though!

Now if they'd work on improving St. Mary's Park in Seton Hill, that would be really nice.
