Kickball At Roxbury Park

Thursday, July 31, 2008

A couple of priests at CB’s church, All Saints’ Beverly Hills, hosted a Wednesday children’s kickball evening event throughout the month of July. Located at Roxbury Park, which is only a couple of blocks away. We decided to prepare a picnic basket (OK, there were two) and invited our good friend Tracy and her son Pace to join in the fun.

We’d never gone inside the park before. I know it’s a shame. It doesn’t look so big from the outside. But wow! It is huge. Lots of big, green areas filled with people doing yoga, tai chi, soccer, etc. There’s also a huge playground for kids. The church rented the small baseball field for kickball. Most of us arrived early enough to have a quick picnic before the game started. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking:

It was really, really fun. The park is so nice that we wished that we visited more often. I think there will be many nights that we just pick up a couple of beach chairs and walk down to the park for the evening. Doggies allowed on leash. And, I am thinking, what a nice place for knitting and spinning. You know what I mean? :-)

  2. yes! definitely take advantage of the green areas so close to you. makes living in a city more bearable. think of how meditative it could be (well, at times).

    you are like me–take all the pics and never in them! i wish you’d get someone to take at least 1 or 2 of YOU at each event, like guild meetings, etc!

    Will definitely make use of the park more often now. Would love to entice a few fiber friends to join me. Anyone? :-)

    Roxbury Park is my childhood park! I spent many hours in the “BeverlyLand” playground and had lots of birthday parties there. I always forget about going there…thanks for the reminder!

    Hey Ellen! Roxbury can use a little fiber activity. Don’t you think? :-)
