A Neighborhood Gathering Place

Everyone should have a reason why they like where they live and mine, despite it being a recent addition, is the park. It is the neighborhood gathering place and I hope to give you a few reasons why. Please feel free to click each photo for a better view.

One of the main reasons to go to the park is the baseball field. There are several Little League teams that play here and believe me they can be very competitive.

There have been many nights we have sat behind this fence watching youngsters from the almost professional to the barely able to hold the ball and had a more than entertaining evening. It didn't matter that we didn't know the teams, they were just entertaining to watch. The parents were another story...

And what talk about baseball would be complete without giving you the view from First Base?

This is the Community Center that hosts Seniors during the day and all kinds of events in the evenings. Our very active Neighborhood Watch group meets here and the Center has all kinds of exercise classes as well.

One of the main pastimes in the neighborhood is the evening stroll, and the park is the perfect place for it. The little bridge entrance is inviting and promises several short trails where you can walk and hear yourself think.

Once on a trail you begin to realize the quiet nature of the place which makes it a joy to do your bit of exercise.





And should you decide to stop and rest for a moment, it has a place for that too...

There is even a small lake. I don't know if there are any fish in it but it is a small lake none the less. It too is a nice stopping place to just enjoy the view and clear your head after a long hard day.

And so you see why I love my neighborhood? English Estates is an older more established place but there is a lot to love about it. In the coming months I hope to highlight a lot more of the things that make this neighborhood a great place to live.
