- My parents brought me and my brothers sledding here one winter.
- Once I biked around the neighborhood along both sides of the lake.
- On mornings after the 4th of July, I would walk to the park with my brothers or friends to search for unused fire crackers.
- I remember one year sitting in the car waiting to see the fireworks.
- This park had an open drain I explored a few times with friends.
- In one exploration I cut my foot from glass.
- My friend John Shingler ripped his shirt off so I could use it wrap my foot.
- I needed stitches.
- Even today, there is a part of my toe I cannot feel.
- Some years later I returned with my brother and friend to explore the old drain in the park. The drain was gated.

Chile has been working toward a new constitution since massive demonstrations in 2019 called for reform. In 2022, voters rejected a draft written by a constitutional convention, and in 2023, they rejected a new draft developed by a constitutional council. President Gabriel Boric said his administration would not attempt to develop another draft.
