As you can see, first on the list was the Bob Marcello Baseball Complex.

We planned to take a picnic there on Saturday, after morning chores, and before leaving for stake conference meetings. We should have realized that a "baseball complex" would be busy on a fall Saturday, but we didn't think about that until we arrived to an overflowing parking lot! Fortunately, though, we found an empty spot on our second loop through the parking lot, and everyone else was watching baseball games so the picnic table by the canal was empty.

Wayne's app logged 1 1/2 miles as we walked around and through the baseball fields, discovering a couple of playground areas, tennis courts and a basketball court along the way. I enjoyed watching all the families there to support their kids, and was reminded of the many hours we spent watching soccer games on fall Saturdays. However, I was also very content to just walk by and not settle down for an hour or two or more. It was nice to walk away from the crowds and enjoy our picnic lunch. It was an absolutely gorgeous day!

One down, nineteen more to go!

Except we need to go back and play tennis before moving on to the next park!

Note that it looks like Bobby Jo Lauter Park has no parking; however, there is a 3/4 mile paved path leading from the Commons Park parking lot.
