    Had another pandemic outing with my son today. We have been checking out the local parks on our days together. We really liked this park because of all of fowl that live around there. Lots of geese and ducks to look at. The playground is definitely geared towards young children which was perfect for us! Loved our time there!

    I enjoy walking my dog through here, biking through here and jogging through here. It has a great view of the river, nice landscaping and clean. They have lots of picnic tables to eat or leisure at, as well as benches scattered about. I would say the picnic tables could use some upgrading but when they live outside I am sure it is hard to keep up. My only thing I found weird about this is that I didn't find any water fountains. My dog got really hot on a walk the other day and I was hoping they would have water options but I didn't come across any during my stretch of the park.

    I recently visited Johnson Park for disc golf - well, Nate and our friend disc golfed, I just…read more"hiked" the course with them. It was a super sunny and hot spring day, so the park was pretty busy with a lot of people looking to enjoy the sunshine. The parking lot got full after we arrived - not sure if there is overflow parking available. I can't really speak to the difficulty of the course for playing, but it is super hilly and made for a sweaty hike around for a couple of hours for me. There's not a ton of shade as many of the holes are out in a massive field. The areas in the woods are shadier but seems like it would be pretty easy to lose a disc in there. It's not very accessible - some of the holes in the woods are accessed by stairs with no ramping available. The park itself is huge and sprawling, with the majority of people playing disc golf. The course signage was good for 2/3 of the course - a few of the later holes didn't have the "next hole" sign directing you where to go. There are apps you can use that help with this. There is another park of Johnson Park that includes picnic areas, an open shelter, the historic shelter for events, ball diamonds, restrooms, playgrounds, and a winter sledding hill. There are trails to walk in this area as well.

    I don't really disc golf but I do like going to check out the parks and walk around while Nate and…read moreour friends play. We went to Garfield park on a sunny and breezy day recently. The park is huge! There are at least two different parking lots for the park - one is close to the first disc golf hole, and one is not. Guess which one we picked, haha. We trekked over to the first hole and started our journey. I noticed one bathroom -not sure if there were more than one but the park is so big it could maybe use a second. The Garfield Park neighborhood association office is located in the park, and there's a nice free library outside it - The Black Book Exchange Box. I loved the diversity of the titles and authors inside (I did not take any books). Parts of the park looked a little "under construction" when we were there - they are redoing the splash pad but the playground is open. The tennis courts didn't have any nets up and they were overgrown with weeds. There are shuffleboard courts but they didn't look usable. The bathroom was pretty clean and stocked with toilet paper. There are picnic tables, benches, and picnic pavilions. It was nice to see people out enjoying this neighborhood park while we were there. Parts of the park are very close to neighbors' homes, so be sure to be aware of the park boundaries. I'd say half of the disc golf course was in the shade and the rest was in full sun, so bring sunscreen and water. There are a couple of holes that are very close to the street - a few discs actually went into the street and one all the way across the road! Be careful out there. Overall it was a nice way to spend a couple hours on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

    The disc golf course is incredible, arguably one of the best in the city. However, as a teen who…read morebikes here a lot, I have gotten some weird and downright inappropriate things shouted at me from strangers, this area is severely underrated but going at certain times of the day can be very sketchy.

    I've done at least a dozen leagues with GRSSC, and I'm really glad I found them! They offer nearly…read moreeverything you can think of... from your standard games like volleyball or basketball to your less common activities like euchre and backyard games. You can come with a full team of your friends or sign up as a free agent and make some new ones! I think the best part of GRSSC is the competitive level. Some of the sports like flag football, broomball, and dodgeball can be a bit more intense than the others, but overall they are a great balance between justforfun/casual and compeitive/challenging (especially if you're a volleyball lover). The website is well organized, but the leagues themselves are really not. You'll do all of your own scorekeeping during the games, play referee, ball fetch, and even have to log your own scores into their website afterwards. The music in the background may or may not be up and running depending on the day, and the partner bars have no notable discounts. I think they're a teensy bit high priced.. if you're providing them with a whole team full worth of players you should get a bit of a discount. Overall I'd say that it's worth it... you'll have a blast, meet some great people, and stay active playing sports and activities you love.

    I joined one of GRSSC's dodgeball teams about 3 years ago and fell in love with the concept and the…read morepeople. I showed up on my first night of dodgeball, hesitant at how adult dodgeball would work, if there was going to be nothing but weirdos there, and if I'd get hit in the face with balls and break my nose, which would not be cool for my professional job. Good news - everything worked out just fine. A dodgeball game lasts about an hour and you play against different teams for the duration of the season. Dodgeball is played with nerf style balls, not old school rubber balls so that limits the chance of injury if you get hit in the face. My three friends ad I were placed on a team with totally normal, not weirdo people and I met tons of other young professionals during that first season. Since then, I've played on flag football teams, kickball teams and I think I subbed for a bowling league once. They rotate through different sports during the year so each session brings a new chance to meet people and try a different sport. GRSSC is heavy on the social aspect of things, so don't expect this to be filled with competitive, aggressive types- it's set up to be fun for everyone. There is an after bar for each sport/season that offers drink specials. Most people go to the bar afterwards and that's where you meet each other. That's where the good stories take place ;) Now, years later, people I've met through GRSSC have gotten married (to other people they met in GRSSC!) had kids (with GRSSC people), we've taken road trips and had birthday parties for each other, and the majority of us have stayed in touch through other events. I defiantly recommend joining if you are new to the area and want to get out or just looking to meet new friends.
