A 5K run/walk was one of the activities kicking off today’s centennial celebration at Hiawatha, the city’s first community center. It continues till 5 pm – with opportunities to learn more about its history as an “Olmsted park”:

..and also to enjoy games and entertainment – here’s the schedule. (We’ll add more photos later!)
I notice the old pipe handrail of the park staircase at Lander & California has been replaced and the new handrail has brassy trim — presumably to make it seem more authentic.
I think we take the park for granted. Thanks to our forefathers we still enjoy the acreage. Too bad it has become a doggy waste garbage stink in the parks garbage cans. Dog owners please take your dog stuff home and dispose of properly.
Yeah. I hate it when garbage cans smell like garbage. No one put any garbage in them please.
I ran in the 5k and i was surprised at how many people came out and ran. It was very cold out and i didn’t think anyone would come.
Sorry, comment time is over.
