A really nice park with a playground and a splashpad neither of which I used today but were still looking pretty awesome. Tough to get a picture of them without including the kids and being "that guy."
Great to sit in the shade after biking all around Niagara today.

Beautiful. Absolutely stunning work on display here. Only two blocks from the Columbus Museum of Art and worth it before or after your visit. I have never seen anything like this before, certainly not to the scale or precision that they have done here.
They have legit turned a two-dimensional painting into a three-dimensional scene with bushes and trees. It's amazing.
Do not miss this in Columbus.

Stuck in stop-and-go traffic on the interstate, I was able to enjoy this park at 5 to 10 miles an hour. A surprising little bright spot in an otherwise frustrating afternoon and affectionately nicknamed "Mount Rush Hour" (like Mount Rushmore but with traffic).
The park has 18 foot tall busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen F. Austin, and Sam Houston. (Yes, for you non-Texans, the cities of Austin and Houston are named after those last two.)
The park is operated by Harris County and these artworks by sculptor David Adickes were added in 2012. He titles them, "A Tribute to American Statesmanship."
Enjoy if you're going slow. Or if you want a better look, the park is open to the public but not directly accessible from the interstate.

There was some sort of event being set up today (eclipse?) so I didn't get to explore Pacific Plaza as much as I would have liked. I could still walk around a bit. This lovely open and green space is airy and fresh and while there isn't a buffer for noise, it was still calmer and more peaceful than most.
The park has some swings and play space for the little ones. A small low fence around it would be helpful.

Founder's Plaza is an open concrete park in downtown Dallas. A few trees provide shade with benches to enjoy watching the passing tourists, most of whom are probably here for nearby Dealey Plaza.
The area includes the Old Red Courthouse, the John Neely Bryan Cabin, the Kennedy Memorial, and a terrazzo map of Dallas County in the 1800's.
There is metered street parking and several paid lots nearby.
