Piles of parks here. My favorite is a county park just a mile or two from my house. It's in the heart of the city, but kinda down in a valley so it seems like it's out in the country. I like to noodle around the lake, ride on the mountain bike paths, rent a rowboat for an hour, and top it all off with a quick dip at the beach. The short ride home dries me off. In the winter we ride our bikes on the lake ice. Fun all year!
