While not really narrowing down too much
Our Parks are a great place to play.
To hike,or swing, or run and slide,
And stay cool on a bright summer's day

If you have been hunting for years
You will remember this hiding place.
But you can go back to them all 
And still not find it.

Minnesota, they say, has 10,000 lakes. 
Maple Grove may not have quite so many. 
Our parks have a few, and some creeks too. 
But at this one, you just will not see any.
