Glenlake Park

Friday, March 21, 2014

So March 20th marked the official end of winter and the first true day of spring. I was under the impression that since Thursday and Friday were so nice…warm and sunny…that people would be out in droves at local parks around the city. This was not necessarily the case. Although there were a few people out and about it was a little challenging capturing photos of people enjoying their local green spaces. Since I was in Decatur on Friday morning I headed over to Glenlake Park on my way home to check it out. Glenlake has a neighborhood swimming pool, a playground, walking trails, and a dog park among other amenities. I didn’t mind having to wait around on such a nice day so I soaked up some of the sunshine that I have been missing over the long winter months in Atlanta.
