2 - Bison Paddock
This can be a true test of the trust in your relationship, when you
suggest making love by the Bison Paddock! But the hill behind the
paddock is really one of the prettier places in this book and in the
park. It's a large, partially wooded meadow with just enough hilliness
to afford a view of the surrounding area. Perhaps surprisingly, the
bison don't give the area a foul odor (unless you catch a particularly
unlucky breeze).
Take the broad path that runs from JFK Drive north
past the left side of the paddock. The entire area to the left is a
pretty mix of woods and grassland, making this a pleasant place to
take a walk.
When you reach the far left (northwest) corner of the
paddock, you'll cross another major path going left and right. The
area on the far left side of this junction (northwest, away from the
paddock) is large with only a few small footpaths running through it.
Wander through this area and choose a spot away from the major trails,
and you should have ample privacy. However, do keep an eye out because
if someone does happen to come by, there isn't much more than grass
here to hide behind!
Even if you're just planning a G-rated picnic, this is
a pleasant place to spend some time. (This area can also be reached
from the Dog Training Area, which has a parking lot accessed from 36th
Ave. on the north side of the park.)
