This was in december so there was lots of snow. Me and my day made a igloo by pressing snow in a box to make bricks. In the igloo we made there was a door, chimney, campfire and table. We liked it so much we decided to go home an grab sleeping bags so we could spend the night.

A park also provides an opportunity to get outside and exercise which most people don't do anymore. Parks also provide good scenery that "should compliment the city as much as possible." They also provide a sense of unity for that visit or are involved. They provide a sense of unity because they are free and you get to experience nature and not have to worry about how much it'll cost.]]> 2023-05-05 16:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579742065 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579743666 2023-05-05 16:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579743666 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579756439 As a little kid I used to play at ceraland park all of the time. In one of the playground there used to be a very tall slide, maybe around 15 feet tall. I was there with my sister one night and the playground was closed off since it was quiet hours, but we hid together on the slide from the patrol people on golf carts. We ended up getting away with it, but we don't hide anymore.]]> 2023-05-05 16:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579756439 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579758168 I think parks have a big meaning to me at this age. Parks are an escape from me being in my house all day. I can benefit from them not only hanging out with friends or playing sports but also just from doing something new. I think every park has something new to do. Another thing I can benefit from a park is it can be a new place to think and come up with new ideas because there is no distractions. ]]> 2023-05-05 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579758168 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579759527 When I was almost three, I lived in Seymour.  There was a park there, in the center of town, that holds my memories.  The park was shady and cool, with lots of trees.  It smelled of mulch due to the center piece of the park.  Me and my dad had the park almost entirely to ourselves, so we played for 2 hours.  I was really good at falling off the climbing sections of the parks.  My mom recorded it and its now forever memorialized on youtube :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkj6-WzhMak ]]> 2023-05-05 16:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579759527 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579760121 My grandma used to take me to a park near Lincoln Village.

We would sit under the playground where there were little walls and a small circle exit. It was always really peaceful, even though there were kids running around and on top of the playground we were under, it was like they were tuned out because it was just us. We would sit under there and talk for I don't know how long and I don't know even remember what about until my mom would text saying we had to go home. We sat below the playground so long in that little square that when we stood up our legs had pins and needles. There were a lot of memories I have at Parkside with people that were good, but that was just one of my favorites. ]]> 2023-05-05 16:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579761850 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579762362 My favorite park is the Park side playground. This park is special to me because I used to go there a lot for birthday parties, chilling with childhood friends, and to spend time with my parents. It is also the most fun park in my opinion because of the big rock you can climb.

I always played with my brothers at the parks. It also helps build my brother's and my connections with each other. Going to parks helps me get away from school and home. Hearing birds chirping and the wind really helps when I don't feel well. I like day dreaming at the parks too. It's pretty peaceful. ]]> 2023-05-05 16:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579764412 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579765307 I do we live in Indiana where we have a lot of green space, but not enough appreciation. We have a lot of forests and parks. The stability of some of this is not as stable as it should be. People who own forests can cut them down and sue trespassers. I get this for hunters and stuff, but I think these things should mostly not be owned by one person. They can one day wake up and say 
"I am going to turn this forest into a grape farm with horrible infant watering methods with the on going water shortages.]]> 2023-05-05 16:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579765307 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579766137 When i was younger, my brothers would participate in certain races at millrace. i remember one particular race they did that when they finished my family celebrated. it was sometimes during the summer and that air was so nice. since i was so young I don't remember much but the feeling of happiness from that. day.]]> 2023-05-05 16:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579766137 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579766542 Blackwell park/parkside is probably my favorite park.

We plan a few weeks ahead so we have time to take the day off of work. We load up 3-4 ATV in our trailer and head off.

On one particular occasion, it was my birthday, and my mom had invited all of our family members to join us. We had a cookout where we cooked delicious carne asada, tacos, papas fritas, and sausage. Afterward, we gathered around the cake to sing happy birthday. However, when we were about to start passing out the cake, my brother took a piece and smashed it into my face. I retaliated by grabbing another piece and returning the favor. This led to a fun cake fight between us, and by the time we were done, everyone was covered in cake.

It will give opportunities to people to create friendships with people outside of school. The green trees and grass encourage peace and life in the communities. It will show the kids, in particular, sports that they can participate in or just give them a calm space to do some activity outside of the modern computer games. Such things grow the communities and all other aspects of the city, community, and people.

To be able to go to any park i want her and just have a good time makes me feel very happy. i can go out for a couple hours spend time on my own or with friends and just do things that make us happy. i like going to parks to for walks sometimes when the air is refreshing or out with friends to catch up with each other.]]> 2023-05-05 16:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579768686 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579769303 Parks are very important for the well being of the community. They are the place where the community can go and enjoy the scenery. In addition, parks help sustain your mental and physical health. They provide a place to relax and take in the fresh air. In larger cities, parks can be a helpful change from bustling city life. Furthermore, home buyers often choose cities to live in based on park systems and the surrounding areas. So, Parks can help the economy of a city. In conclusion, parks benefit the city and its people in so many ways. ]]> 2023-05-05 16:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579769303 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579769757 One of these days at this rate the frost will be burned down for an oil drilling spot.

Throughout my elementary school career, I spent many days playing on that playground. My friends and I had a game that we played almost every day called "green line tag," which involved the big rope climber in the middle of the playground. We also loved to roll down the turf-grass hills. I fondly remember the games of tag, the handstand competitions, and the gaga ball tournaments we spent on that playground.

Sometimes I'll sit by the small park at the oil can church. I very rarely will read there, soetimes I'll run over there and take a long break. It's very pretty and relaxing, even though the park is dirty and infested with weeds, the trees are very pretty. I love it a lot, its very calm because noone ever really goes there except maybe a few kids that live in the area.

My next favorite thing that I did was doing the monkey bars, my dad loved videoing my growth with them and getting to be with me through those joys. We would also always start the day with breakfast at hardees for the biscuits and gravy. I so deeply remember all of those memories everytime I get into his truck, because our bond is definitely worth so much. The best part is that recently I talked him through and asked him if he would like to redo what we used to do, and have a day together, and gladly he said of course. So that saturday I crawled out of bed and got myself ready and believe it or not my dad was there waiting for me in his truck and it felt like I was a little girl again. When I got in his truck we talked about how nice it was to get time together since the two of us never have time to go places that much anymore. And after that I appeared in the hardees door and the smell and visual appearance of the inside all came back to me. After that we of course went to mill race and went over the "monkey bridge" and looked at the rivers, and had some good conversations as we were enjoying the peace of nature as well as eachothers company.

The camp was very big and spread out, with locations connected by gravel roads and dirt footpaths.  Most of the campsites had scouts sleeping outside in platform tents, that have a wooden platform as a base with a tarp acting as a roof. If a night got too cold or a storm too fierce we would take mattresses off the rusty metal cot and take it down to the unit house, a building usually in the center of a campsite where things like gas stoves, microwaves, and other important things were held. It was also where the scouts met for group activities. ]]> 2023-05-05 16:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579785858 https://padlet.com/larsona5/os9j45u0tg0f/wish/2579789172 We have access to parks because they can help you have fun.
