Macleay Park Hike

Samantha, Emmy and I decided to take a walk through Macleay Park today.  Part of Forest Park, this preserve offers a variety of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding.

 The Stone House was built during the Depression by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as a restroom alongside then Balch Creek Road. It was maintained until the Columbus Day storm in 1962 took out the plumbing system and heavy vandalism over the years forced park officials to abandon it rather than embark on costly repairs. It remains as a favorite spot to rest along the trail.
