wow...I've seen all of the "along the way" images, but that really looks different.
For now, it's certainly cleaner looking. It's gonna be something to get used...so bright looking

I know there are those who don't or won't like it, but I do and i think it is very welcoming and appealing. Different, Yes. Unattractive, I think not.
How many more days?

It's not that I don't like it, but when I think park, I think grass. Nice to see the fence down and have it open again though.
Going "home" again October 26th!

We missed it by about a month! Enjoyed breakfast at JJ's and peaking through the fence at the progress. I think some flowering plants and more green might warm it up some?

I think it looks nice, although more like a plaza than a park, which is fine too! Once the foliage has a chance to fill in a little more it should look very good. I like the stonework too.

What is not to like? It is clean, there is a sidewalk to get people off the road. It has trash cans. It is everything that the old park was not.
I am glad there is no grass, it would get brown in a drought and would be a magnet for trash.
I think they did a great job!

I agree, especially with the bold. I like that they kept the trees.
Most importantly, what do the chickens think?

I love it, I'm so glad that it's done before I get there.
