Although I rarely visit the Wallingford neighborhood (mainly
because of parking issues that I’ve complained about previously), one
thing that always catches my eye when I’m driving east on North 50th
Street is the stone archway at the entrance to Meridian Playfield. Since
I was planning to go to the farmers market at the park anyway, I went a little
early to get a jump on the parking situation, walked around the park to the 50th
and Meridian intersection and crossed the street to get a good view. Until
today, I didn’t realize that the zig-zagging stone wall visible through the
arch opening is actually a gradually sloping wheelchair ramp.
Known for its pesticide-free grass and plants, Meridian park is home to the historic Good Shepherd Center as well as the Wallingford Farmers Market.
Nice work on the arch and the stone wall. I like your loose foliage. Don't you hate the places that it is almost impossible to park!
