Activities
Many recall the swimming near the point at O'Connor's Landing. A gazebo and dock provided the initial ambiance, and a large slide was later added. At its peak, 14 ft. boat rentals with 6 horse motors were rented, along with canoes, a pontoon, and a paddle boat. There were two playgrounds with large swing sets, tether ball, and a large swing known as the "popsicle stick". There were large grassy areas for picnics or a toss of the ball.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
