Riverside Park

Today, while housekeeping was cleaning the room, I took Hero to Riverside Park. It's a very nice city park here in Wichita. We recently found it on Labor Day, the park was littered with people at the time. Some had brought their grills and had a family picnic, others were fishing along the Arkansas River and still others were visiting the very small "zoo" housing wildlife of Kansas. I suppose Kansas doesn't have much wildlife, I mean judging from the size of the "zoo" that is. So, from that day, I knew I wanted to go back, take some pictures and pass some time. It's really nice. The park is covered with Oak and Cedar trees, geese, ducks and children lol. Surrounding the park are old homes, homes that were built in probably the 30s/40s (I think)...you know the kind that are built to last. It's true what they say, "they just don't make 'em like this anymore." I have a fondness for older homes, I would love to own one some day. So I decided to take some pictures as proof that there are nice places in Wichita...this was more about proving it to myself than anyone else lol. So, take a look....

That looks like a great park...I mean it's no Gunter city park, but...

Should be beautiful in a few weeks when the leaves change

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing...when the leaves change, haha! Although, I was a bit impressed by it, to say the least. As you and everyone knows, I'm not the biggest fan of Wichita lol.
