It is still gated and I only had to go by and close the gate once so, for the most part, people are doing a good job of keeping that secure.

He was not even walking at one point and didn't seem to be capable of using his right arm. He cradled and protected the arm from everything. Soon after, I visited Summerville and discovered Saul's Park. My daughter in law and I took the children to Saul's Park and "bam!", before we knew it he was using his right arm, climbing, swinging and playing the steel drums on the decorative, bright colored "flowers"! An enjoyable experience for us all!!! We will be back, for sure!

I have been trying to go on a walk every day. Most days, I just walk around his neighborhood. However, I was excited when I heard the parks reopened. I made a venture to Gahagan Park the first time almost on accident. I needed somewhere to go to get signal, as I don't get good phone service in Lincolnville. So I went to Gahagan Park for the phone signal, but after my virtual appointment, I decided to walk around this park. I found a track wrapping around a football field. I headed towards this because I assumed this would be the best place for walking. I passed a few baseball fields on my way. When I got to the track and started to walk around, I noticed that part of the track veers off. I followed this path to see where it lead. It went by some more baseball fields. It also lead to some public bathrooms and a picnic area. At the end of this walking trail, there is a graveyard. It is fenced in, and I couldn't get in. This is the point where I turn around, as the park ends and the walking path turns into a road. I like coming to Gahagan Park for my daily walks. I have a friend who plays ultimate frisbee here! This is a cool, fun, and relatively safe place to hang out. I definitely recommend checking it out!
