Dennis the Menace Park
This place is every child's favorite park. I'm not certain how it came to be, but I understand Hank Ketchum (Dennis' creator) designed it. We had a very similar park in my home town of Midland, Texas. It too was a magical place that I remember well from my childhood. It was quite a ways from our house, so we only got to go there on a few special occasions. This particular park is located in Monterey, so my own children also only go there on special occasions.
