There is something wonderful about being able to find silence, serenity and simplicity in a city park. Kofu Park in Lodi is a jewel in the city's park system. Huge grass expanses that drape the sides of sunken fields; multiple species of trees lining the crater's rim; a plethora of greens to enjoy --- all add to the pleasure of sitting on a bench under a spacious oak tree where you can breathe deeply and find a retreat from the weekly mayhem.
You won't be alone, most likely. The park is dog and people friendly as well. You will be entertained by canine antics and children rolling down the hills. And if you like baseball or soccer, you will be treated to these at certain seasons. The city of Lodi will be adding an even bigger park next year. Tree planting will start in March, 2011. It will be a beautiful place in the years to come as those trees mature.
"God has given to us all things richly to enjoy." His creative genius has included a world of trees.
