A Sweet but insignificant little park...
found at the end of School Street in Wilkesboro, just opposite Wilkesboro Elementary. The little lummox and I walked through it the other day. It has been there for a long time, but was deteriorating. Last week it was cleared out and fine fresh gravel laid down on the trail through it. Several picnic tables are still there though they have begun to fall apart. Perhaps as part of the renovation the city will fix or replace them. The park consists of the little picnic area and a trail through the woods from the school parking lot to Westwood Hills. It is a short trail, but very sweet to walk under the cool darkness of the trees on a hot sunny day. Lummox loves it.

So thanks to the town of Wilkesboro for the new work on the park. The parks in the two Wilkesboros really add to the quality of life here in Wilkes. [Someday soon I should write a bit about the historical character - and 'character' is the right term - whom Wilkesboro and Wilkes County are named after]
