That brings us to Charrette Park Flood damaged some homes on the city block, and the area was converted it into a city park. Primary aim was to keep youth active, on their own.
5 basket ball court were created here, and was a very active park, with kids, youth playing pick-up games almost all the time. Never saw it empty.
Then, came another flood. The Great Flood of 1993.
The courts were ruined, concrete and asphalt crumbled under the damaging flood waters.
Only one court is playable today, not used much, but once in a while a couple of kids will play there. Mostly now just open space to be by yourself in the shade, if you chose.
