Summer Park Haiku

[ada]

Take a moment for wonder and look up the parks in your area! Use this google map search link for parks near you.

• What do you notice on the map?
• What words stand out to you?
• What shapes do you see?
• Do you know who or what your parks are named after?

Play with the words you noticed, and create a haiku to reflect your curiosities!

Here’s mine:

A “snug green space” at
Wheeler, Sennott, Joan Lorentz
Parks to play for free

City park
Lush and green
Everyone is welcome

Former battlegrounds
Now hold space for peace
By the cherry trees

(one of our more notable parks was a Civil War battleground)

In and around Columbia, SC - here are my park haiku!
The stars on each map indicate where I took my inspiration. I researched Granby and learned some stuff about county history!

Granby, named after
a duke, first town in county,
now a stone quarry

Seven Oaks dip roots
Deeply in a Crooked Creek,
Providing cool shade
