Cross Park Promenade Walking Tour
At 10 a.m we were in Cross Park Promenade Walking Tour. We have been amazed at what we see…. a hidden bench that tells time, miniature boats powered by the wind, a magnificent sculpture celebrating fresh water, and a glorious drinking fountain for the city’s equine population. These are just some of the the sites along the way on this east to west walk through the Park.
