25 - Soccer Fields
The soccer fields at the west end of the park can draw a crowd. But
they often go unused, and the walk through the low woods that surround
the fields is an enjoyable lap. There are a variety of spots to stop
along this walk. However, plenty of other people have had the same
idea, and much of this area is now posted requesting people to stay on
the path.
Not to worry, because there's a pleasant and private place just across
the street. From the three-way intersection where JFK Drive meets
Bernice Rodgers Way, walk 50 yards north along JFK Drive. Turn right
(toward the golf course) into the woods just to the left of a park
bench on the paved footpath.
Go about halfway in and you'll find a large, shady spot that has a
soft mix of fallen leaves and pine needles as ground covering. Choose
a spot equally out of view from the street and golf course, and you'll
have plenty of privacy. This is a relaxing place to linger, aside
from the occasional distressed cry of some golfer yelling "fore."
