We got winners, we got losers, chain smokers and boozers. We got aviaries, we got yuppies, we got ducks, geese and guppies. We got roller bladers, we got bikers, and wanna be thirsty hikers. I love this park, it's my kind of place. Just strollin' through the gardens puts a big smile on my face.
We got cowboys, we got truckers. Broken-hearted fools and suckers. And we got hustlers, we got fighters, early birds and all-nighters. And the Mommies talk about their children's scars. Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this park.
I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs, blue-collar boys and rednecks. And we got lovers, lots of lookers and I've even seen dancing girls and hookers. And we like to drink our water from a Nalgene bottle. Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this park.
We got b-ball, we got swim pools, tennis courts and leash rules. But I love this park. It's my kind of place. Just trollin' round the duck pond puts a big smile on my face. No entry charge, come as you are. Mmm, I love this park.
Liberty Park has been my summer sanctuary this year. To drive the point home, I love Liberty Park because it attracts such a diverse group of people. Single Dad's with his three identical little humans in a triple seat stroller, seniors on roller skates and exercisers of many various activities. So while I may have my headphones in, I fully absorb my visual surroundings and get some quality people watching in while getting my run on. I always leave with a smile on my face and the words, "What the?" at the tip of my tongue.

I'm with you on that one Keena . . . you do see all kinds there. Years ago, when I was still rollerblading at Liberty Park, I actually saw a man with a HUGE, LONG snake wrapped around his neck!!! People made very wide detours to get around this loony.
Next time you go you should do a photographic documentary of the Liberty Park scene. Its been a long time since I ventured there.
