Side Creek Park in Louisiana Purchase


I am calling the above square mile Louisiana Purchase because it is such a clever name.  It is bound by the unfinished Mississippi Avenue on the north, Tower Road on the west, Powerline Trail and Jewell Avenue on the south, and to the east by an imaginary line where Himalaya Road should be.
This is made up of 3 sub-neighborhoods, Side Creek, which is most of the western part of the map (all west of Dunkirk); Louisiana Purchase, which is on either side of Dunkirk, including the triangle that juts out to the east; and Lexington East, which is the quadrilateral shape in the southeastern part of the map. There is a semicircle of land to the west which I think is reserved for retail, but it is undeveloped.

The park is Side Creek Park and it is surprisingly nice.  It has a walking trail that invites you to walk around it, and there are some very cool sculptures of geese.  This is very elegant and the only thing missing is a little water, so I will give it a solid B.
