Parks with Ken: Grant Park, Kennard Nature Nook

What do you get when you abut a public park against a rich neighborhood? Why, rude residents, of course. And the fact that it “closes” at 4PM and is only open on weekdays lends me to believe it’s a very old and Boomery neighborhood at that.

Which is even confirmed by the website’s photo: Karens doing yoga.

Here’s more evidence:

A dilapidated sign. Because, what rich person would want to make this park more accessible to outsiders?
A new bridge, that goes to the backyards of aforementioned rich people, in a section of the park with no public access.

Anyway, aside from the implied hostility, here’s my review.

Review:

Difficulty: 1/5

Points of note:

  • Nice scenic path along the Holes Creek (which was quite swollen with all the recent rain).
  • The Holes Creek eventually connects with the Great Miami River, though this is far downstream near Miami & Erie Canal Park (looks like a good fishing spot).
  • Again – surrounded by rich and unwelcoming people.

But if you’re like me and don’t give a damn about judging eyes from the privileged, it makes for a nice scenic walk. I was surprised there were no kids present. I sure would have been sneaking off to the creek had this been in my backyard. Maybe they were all in expensive extracurriculars. Dunno.
