I'm always an ever a fan of an expanse of green in any city or town
Lately, it feels like every time we travel, we seek out a park in which to picnic.
Turns out, I'm a bit of a Yogi Bear at heart (Hey Boo Boo...let's go get us a pic-a-nic basket). Only, unlike that thievin' bear, I bring my own bountiful basket.
So, while cruising around the Dells, I thought--why not have a picnic in a park.
Enter Bowman Park.
It's a great park to enjoy a picnic. They have a few picnic tables scattered here and there as well as plenty of shade--so, perfect for picnicking!
Beyond that, there's a large field near their bandshell/pavilion that is plenty big for sports (and indeed, while we were there, there was a group of guys playing a casual game of football). The field is sort of sunken, so that if there were a concert going on that brought a good sized crowd, you could get a spot on the berm above and still have a great view of the band.
The don't allow pets of any sort (leashed or unleashed) in the park, which was a bummer as we had our dog (it wasn't hot, so she was able to hang in the car with the windows down, but she would have much rather rolled around on the lawn).
Other than that? A great little park, conveniently located to many walkable restaurants and shops.
