Bridges, stream side trails, waterfalls: these are the elements that add fun to the merely beautiful. Inniswood Metro Park has all of these as well as a farmyard water wheel and trough that are pure cooling recreation. The truth is that none of us really outgrow the need to splash in water on a hot day. Sultry 
summer weather = a beach vacation for many. We may have to settle for a fast fan or air conditioned office, but given the choice, I think most of us prefer to lean a little closer into a cooling spray.
It is cooo000000OOOOOOling….
I like Inniswood too
Lots of fun stuff for the kids and parents. The water area is cool and the model train is still there I think.
Rainfield: Nice use of “0″s and “O”s, ha! Yes, just being near water makes it a good day, doesn’t it? I’m just back from Puerto Rico and am very much missing the sound of the surf. Our area parks will have to fill the gap for now!
Paris By Way of Rome: Long time, sir! Inniswood always makes for a good afternoon. Not sure about the model trains, but I haven’t been there in the past month or so.
