Buena Vista Park

I debated for a few days on what to dedicate my 100^th review to, and while I was jogging this afternoon, I found myself staring right at it: our community park.
I’ve called Kimber Park my home for more than half of my life, and Buena Vista Park is an irreplaceable facet of this community. It’s small, quaint, and has everything you could want in a small neighborhood park. The playground has swings (my favorite!), with two big kid (adult?) and two baby swings. There’s a playground structure, complete with slides, climbing bars, and a tic-​tac-​toe wall. Oh the days of Hot Lava Monster! There are two wooden benches to rest your weary legs, and a rough basketball court with one hoop.
The expansive green field with huge trees decorating the edges of the park makes the park an ideal spot to play sports, bring your dog, or just lie on the grass and chill. I’ve seen people fly kites and throw frisbees, and around the perimeter there is the occasional biker and jogger – hopefully, that’ll be me more often haha. I have yet to see the park filled with people to the point of noise pollution and people congestion, which contributes to the serenity of this spot. There is no parking lot, but most visitors are local community members, and there is parking along the borders of the park for those with vehicles.
The park closes from 30 minutes past sunset until dawn. But, between you and me, some of the best moments in this park are at night when you and your friends can sit on the swings, stare up at the vast night sky, and marvel at the beauty of the peace, leisure, and life.
