FRICK PARK

It’s taken me over a week to finally leave the apartment and visit, a short ten-minute walk to this vast 600-acre jewel that runs in a small ravine southwards towards the Monongahela River. A brief hike to the bottom and all urban sound dissolves, you’re removed from the city, as if our neighborhood could ever really feel that urban with all its trees and insect melodies. These forests are filled with busy little dramas most people are probably unaware of as they jog the paths or walk their dogs. The small world rewards investigation.
