Highway 61 should played a big part in our pilgrimage. On our way from Newbern to Greensboro, we passed through the possibility of a town named "Whitsitt". I say possibility because there was no town in evidence and the name itself suggests a spin off "What's it?".
Driving the 8ish miles to Lion's Park in Greensboro was easy sailing. The GPS coordinates for your visiting pleasure:

Longitude: 87.588833° W
The super metal gate to Lion's Park are part of the Rural Studio's Surfaces, which turned the park from a car-friendly park to a pedestrian-focused park.
The intriguing Mobile Concession Stand that looks like a cross between the Jetson's and Soviet realism.

The play maze in which the kids got lost and found and lost and found again.

Sky and tin cans- vistas for kids.
Endless possibilities.
Left out of our photos are the skate-friendly Toilet Rooms, the Skatepark, and other projects currently underway- which you can watch on Lion's Park Project blog. Coincidentally, the Rural Studio students were visiting the Tuscaloosa Arboretum recently.
