Proctor Park

As we travel the east of the Mississippi area of America we come across these beautiful parks 

that were designed by Olmstead.  Our Proctor Park was one of them. 

 The original plan was to encompass the perimeter of Utica with connecting parks. 

Proctor Park has always held a mystic to me.  It seemed that around every bend was something new, an old stone stairway, stone arches, paths that lead somewhere.  I like to imagine the people in the early 1900's who came here to picnic or walk -- They were hard working people who sought out places like this for a Sunday afternoon excursion, a place to relax and reflect and spend time with their families.
