I remember going to Merrium park with my mother when I was a little girl. I remember paths through some trees that I thought was the country. Of course, I also remember the swings, seesaw and monkey bars. Most memorable is the sprinklers which were in a square box like structure with several sprouts of water. Nice to cool off. We lived on Nelson Ave a short walk away.
