MOTHERSHIP @kennected My sister used to take me up to the watch tower as a kid. They had no railings then. Used to dance to Sam Cooke doin' the twist in the pk.

MOTHERSHIP @kennected There also used to be a health station were I got vaccinated for polio in the middle of the park.

MOTHERSHIP @kennected Back in the day, there were no entry gates. Just the stone columns on each side.

MOTHERSHIP @kennected I passed there the other day and I don't remember seeing the Tower though. I hope they didn't take it down.

kennected @MOTHERSHIP the watchtower is still there. I would love to get into it

MOTHERSHIP @kennected I don't think you can get into the tower. It's locked.

kennected @MOTHERSHIP it is but I wish they had a tour that gave us access.

MOTHERSHIP @kennected Back in da day it wasn't but I guess with all the crazies tryin' to find somewhere to jump from they had to lock.
