Rainbow Park

Rainbow park, times have changed. For those who did not know, let me tell you some history about that big hill you see. This place used to be landfill a long time ago and they filled the place up and now it’s a park.
As a little boy I used to come here a lot. It’s a nice and quite little park. There’s just a few swings and some sand to play in and of course, there is that kiddy pool for the summer. I probably pee’d in it, haha…
Next to the soda machine used to be a pay phone, you know? The one that you put in one finger at a time and turned it in a circular motion. Ah, rotary phones were cool, not! Soda in that machine was 25 cents and they had a machine inside the building that made a cup of chicken broth soup, hot coco or, coffee. Yes, no Starbucks back then.
In the summer you can expect to see men dressed up in uniforms playing baseball.
You can also play tennis. They have two courts here. Hopefully the nets are new.
The most fun is probably during the winter months when snow is on the hill. Take a sled, grease it down with left over lard from Christmas dinner and your in for a joy of a life time.
As I said, the park is small, but it’s cozy. Just because something is big, does not make it better.
