Thumbnails to Show You the Way
- Park in the parking area near the wooden playground.
- Facing the road (E Jackson St), with your back to the two dolphins on the playground, find a crosswalk to your left, carefully cross the street, and follow the sidewalk going left (you will pass a theatre stage on your right).
- Once you reach a brick building on your right, turn right and follow the path, passing between the flagpole and cannon, and then passing the theatre stage now on your left.
- Continue following the path past a pavilion on your right, and pick up the sidewalk again, passing another pavilion (the Hart Pavilion) on your left.
- Once you reach a crosswalk on your right (and a small playground on your left), turn right and carefully cross the street to pick up the sidewalk along Park Ave.
- Continue following the sidewalk ahead, passing the pool and picnic table area on your right.
- At the end of the sidewalk, turn right and follow the grassy path as it goes around the outfield fence of the baseball field.
- Once you reach the end of the outfield fence, turn right, and walk toward the tennis courts.
- Next, walk between the tennis courts and the pool area, and you will find the post.
- To return to your car, continue walking the way you were headed, and you will see the playground and parking area in front of you.
