I am thinking of the hill at the end of Upton on the south side of the creek. They call it Basset Creek Park these days. has a play ground down in a low area with the creek on the other side of the train tracks. You could see Glennwood (the water company and the road) on the other side of the creek.

Use to be called Horseshoe pond when I was around there. Played hockey on that pond and fished for carp or whatever bit the line. I could see it from the bedroom on the other side of the creek along with the baseball fields.

The city literally moved it over and rounded it out a bit and later added a second pond next to hwy 100 with a pathway between the other pond. Leveled the rolling hills that had tall weeds and trees and dirt footpaths that kids loved to play in and build forts. The hill is still there in the western corner of the pond.

Now it is antiseptic and has a million geese that make a mess of the grass. I saw many people walking around the pond.
