A Many Sided Gem

There are so many things to love about this park. When our kids were small they enjoyed the play equipment. We came for picnics. With our dog we splashed in the creek ; we had old shoes to walk in the water and on the rocks. My grown children walk here, and so do my grandchildren. It's been rewarding to see how they love the park. We enjoy the natural beauty of it: the trails, the winding creek, the sound of the water, the birds we can hear and see. Some of the changes that are being discussed would take away from the natural, quiet beauty of the place. There are so many great trails for bikes that can be accessed in Bloomington; they connect and go for miles along the river and wind through Hyland. I hope this almost wild gem will remain an almost wild gem to enjoy.
