TICKLED PINK PARKS
by THE BRILLIANT CHARLIE KIM
In
our town River Edge, there are a couple of interesting places such as Van Saun
County Park and Veteran’s Memorial Park. Both are on Continental Avenue and are
the biggest and most visited places in River Edge. Most sports’ activities take
place on the green grassy grounds of Van Saun County and Veteran’s Memorial
Park.
Van
Saun County Park is a lively, humongous place. You can have a barbecue party in
peace. Your kids won’t be annoying you because they will be busy on the
playground. Or the entire family can enjoy the Van Saun’s miniature train ride.
While your family is on it, you can see animals that are rare in the fascinating
zoo. A translucent pond with geese, which you can’t feed, is waiting for you at
the end of the park. The pond isn’t only for scenery; residents fish there. Moreover,
everyone can have a fun, tickled pink time at any one of the three athletic
fields – baseball, soccer, or softball field.
My
favorite spots in Veteran’s Memorial Park are the picnic areas, the baseball
fields, and the snack bar. At the snack bar, I can pick from at least 30
varieties of goodies to munch on while watching entertaining baseball games. I
play baseball in these enormous baseball fields on Thursdays and weekends. Many
nonresidents enjoy barbecue parties in the modern picnic area. Because of
pavilions, families can eat peacefully at the sanitary picnic tables without
worrying about any bird poop. In addition, Veteran’s Memorial Park has a unique
bench program. It allows residents to donate money to make a bench in memory of
someone they loved. Furthermore, athletes can master their skillful techniques
on the hockey rink, basketball courts, and horseshoe pits.
In
my opinion, these aren’t really that interesting because I’ve seen better
tourist attractions. However, I go there with my family and my friends, and I
always have a stupendous, mind-blowing time. If you don’t believe me, I invite
you to come and see for yourself!
