No Access Parks

Five city parks can be found inside the four-sided boundary created by Huron Parkway, Geddes, Earhart, and Glacier Way (Oakwoods Nature, Earhart, Earhart West, Narrow Gauge, and Ruthven Nature) but only one of them -- Earhart, which is in the King Elementary School's backyard -- is accessible to pedestrians. Ruthven Nature (at the corner of Huron Parkway and Glazier Way) and Oakwoods Nature (at the corner of Huron Parkway and Geddes Road) are undeveloped wooded preserves. Both are visible from the road but neither offers any point of access that we could discern. Narrow Gauge and Earhart West, on the other hand, are well hidden within the winding streets of the beautiful King neighborhood, but they are also largely undeveloped wooded areas that offer no means of entry, and no pathways within the woods that we could find. So we visited five parks on this overcast and increasingly blustery afternoon, but we only set foot inside Earhart Park. (We're still adding all five to our Park Walk count, though -- which brings us up to 71!)
