I don't remember how I discovered Brinkop Park, in the middle of a residential area of Shrewsbury, but it is my favorite park - plenty of shady spots, hardly anyone ever there, clean restrooms, quiet and manageable. I especially love taking photos at Brinkop. The way the sidewalks intersect the playground areas, the lines on the basketball court, and those magnificent blue poles of the swingset, make all kinds of interesting divisions and planes to play with. I would like to use these as studies for future paintings.
