I think you are right - should be called Kathy Bates park. agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-19440001168333742182013-07-07T13:18:12.555-06:002013-07-07T13:18:12.555-06:00Wow - you're lucky you had a quiet 4th of July...Wow - you're lucky you had a quiet 4th of July. Around here people set off fireworks for days before and after the holiday. It's actually very annoying. <br /><br />We just had a quiet family BBQ at the house - which was lovely. <br /><br />PS: The video is great. And I agree with you - they should have names it "Kathy Bates Park" instead! meleah rebeccahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116656129112106780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-77986863421316149092013-07-06T17:22:39.285-06:002013-07-06T17:22:39.285-06:00Thanks CiCi.

I've thought "Bates Park" might be too reminiscent of "Bates Motel".<br />I sometimes complain about the trials and tribulations of trying to get around here on a bicycle, but I do love this particular trail system.

We have some pretty good ones here, but I'm not sure we have anything that big, with such extensive bike paths.<br /><br />I'm going to guess the attractive feature is the water park!
