I was staying in the town of Mariposa while visiting Yosemite National Park in June and right next…read moreto where I was staying was this adorable art park. Location is right off of the CA-140 and parking is located on the side streets. Not big at all, but has so much to offer. The Mariposa creek runs through the park and there are large trees to offer plenty of shade. During the summer, they offer live music concerts on the weekends that are free to all. For kids, there are spring break and summer day camps here. The park features beautiful sculpture made of four I - beams from the World Trade Center. The sculpture is not randomly created. It is intended to pay homage to all that perished in the towers and the Pentagon on 9/11. While standing there and viewing this sculpture and the description, I found myself getting a little emotional. I was very impressed and touched by this wonderful tribute. There are benches to sit on along side the creek and you can just listen to the water. There is also a lawn area to lay a blanket on and read or sleep. This little park is so relaxing. Definitely a hidden gem and I am glad I had the pleasure to visit.

A big THANK YOU, to all of you fine B&G people!!
