Cold Weather Can't Keep Me Away From This Park

For this post I am going to tell you about Gage Park. The Park is located in the North West section of the city. There are two main entrances in to the park, one on the south side off of 10th avenue and the other on the north side off of 6th avenue. The park was donated to the City of Topeka in 1899 by the heirs of Guilford Gage, hence the name Gage Park. The Park has a lot of great things for the whole family. The south side of the park is where the baseball and soccer fields are located. Along with the sports fields, the south side of Gage Park is home to a dog park, Bark Park. Spread throughout the park are many memorials, sculptures, and Playgrounds. Near the center of the park is the Blaisdell Family Aquatic Center, the Reinisch Rose Garden, and the Doran Rock Garden. On the North side of the park is the Topeka Zoo,  the Helen Hocker Theater, and  one of the bigger playgrounds in the park, Animal Land, as well as the Mini Train. The park Mini Train travels all around the park, travels through a tunnel, and over a small wooden bridge. I would recommend this park to any one and every one. There is plenty of places to have an impromptu ultimate frisbee game or to throw the pig skin around. Great for runners and walker, the park has several pathways to exercise on, and perfect for dog owners because of the fully fenced in, spacious Bark park. This park has a little bit of everything.
For more information, like seasonal events, hours of operation, and anything else about Gage Park go to the Parks and Rec. website.
