I took a leisurely-paced ride on Monday night around the neighborhood, more or less. 3 miles away is still considered in the neighborhood, right? Anywho, I had a small ulterior motive to explore one of the larger parks that I pass by on my semi-regular bike commute to work. Come to find out, said park is known as Thompson Park. For most of the last 3 years, I worked out of a laundromat on Thompson Street in Philadelphia. Weird.
At any rate, at the northeast end of the park, there's a branch of the Upper Arlington Public Library, which has a rather descriptive bike rack out front:
That's pretty nifty, even for someone like myself who is most definitely not a bookworm. The library is a bit off the beaten path from my commute by about 3 blocks or so, but it ended up being a great find even for me. I was forced to stop there on my way home yesterday because it had started storming and I needed to seek shelter.
As for the park itself, it's your average park with a shared usage path, though there is a fitness trail worked into it just in case riding or walking isn't enough for you. There's also a pond that I didn't happen to find, but I guess that just means I'll have to go back. I mean, it is just down the road...
Nice Racks has been my regular series of bike rack art found in Philadelphia. I felt weird using the same series name for streets that don't exist in the same space, so I'm starting the Nice Racks in Cowtown series for bike rack art I find in and around Columbus.
