Parks, Momuments Blog Bundle 1

As this bundle was assigned I thought what parks do I actually use? Have I even been to a park since high school. The answer came to me in a flash. Goddard park. We take the dogs there to play all the time. As I thought of it I wondered why I never thought of Goodard Park as a Park. I thought of it as more of a beach where the dogs could run and swim. Not that they like to swim but if mommy goes in they go with me. I had even been there for other activities, the state cross country run for elementry school was held there a few years ago and we went because my partners children where running in it. Its amazing how the events that were involved with going to the park over shadowed its actual purpose. I go there but never think of it a state park with a larger purpose. So having traveled quite a bit of the park in the past and walk from one end to the other on the beach how could I not define this space as a park. My personal experience with the area have overshadowed what it really is. Amazing how the mind can blot out what something really is.
