My sister and I would walk or ride our bikes to Holten Park and spend the day there – swimming and just meeting new friends. I’m not sure how old we were, but I know we were young. It was approximately 16 blocks away from Grandma Virginia’s house and as I think about it, I can’t believe Granny allowed us to go there every day. She probably needed a break from us. When I think about it, life was so different so many years ago. Today, I would never allow my grandbabies to walk or ride their bikes that far. Life has sure made us more cautious. For my sister and I, going to the park was the highlight of each day. We would go there in the morning , come home for lunch, and head back out.
My daughters and I took the girls to this park mainly because I wanted to see it and we heard there was a splash pad there. The pool has since closed since my sister and I used it, but the splash pad was a hit. The girls laughed and just had plain old fun!
