Essexville, Michigan - Saginaw River
This is a park on the Saginaw River. I'm not positive it is the exact park I played at, but it looks a lot like the one I remember. It was two blocks from my house. My memories are of neighborhood barbecues on the water and of watching the neighborhood dog, Blue (he had one blue eye) catching Frisbees in the water. I was only 3 years old but this park sticks out very distinctly in my memories.
