| Out for a ride at the intersection of Jackson and Oak next to City Park.... |
City Park is a popular area for many reasons. It really is the quintessential heart of residential Old Town. Old Town shops and restaurants are 12-14 blocks away, a very nice stroll along wide residential streets full of Old Town homes and the park itself is large. There is Sheldon Lake, City Park Pool, City Park Nine golf course and the wide green expanses of the park itself. I live close to the park and like many of the area residents, find myself walking around the lake or through the park at least a few times a week, often times more.
One thing that makes Old Town fun is the mix of eclectic sites and sounds you are bound to encounter. For example, I was coming home a few days ago and saw 3 horses plus riders at the northeast intersection of the park. A couple times a year we usually see a horse and wagon go by, but I can't remember the last time I saw just horses. This really is pretty normal for Old Town and that is what makes it such a great place.
