Last week's question was: "Where Was This Located?" Jeff Murray thought that the wading pool pictured was in Fern Park, but also considered that it might be Elizabeth Park or Kennedy Park. In the end, he was pretty sure it was Fern Park.
Rick Liftig was urged to weigh in on the discussion, and he though that this might be Beachland or Kennedy Park. Someone else emailed a guess of Wolcott Park.
