Getting to the Park

By Anonymous (not verified), 16 March, 2026
Getting to the Park To go from my house to the park, you start by going out my door. Remember to walk down the front steps or you will fall! Turn right on the sidewalk and go to the end of the block. That's Pine Street. Turn right again. Then you have to go a ways to get to Cline Avenue. That's the park right there! Be careful when you cross Cline because there's a lot of main eaks driving there. You should run for the swings because you don't want to get stuck with the broken one. Last one there's a rottin egg!
