THIS PARK HAS BEEN REMOVED AS OF 11/2005
The park's condition was no longer safe.
Funds were raised by locals and city alike with a final cost $28,000.
Quick directions

take exit #84 and go up West 2nd street (east). The
park is just east of Safeway and Ernest. Parking is
not encouraged next to the buildings, but there is a lot in Thompson Park
(swimming pool in backround of above photo).
