The theme for the October photo competition is "Local parks" (i.e. city/neighborhood parks). This covers any place that is located within an urban or suburban area, which is set aside for urban recreation (e.g. for children), intended for use by local residents.

You may make your submission as an answer to this post. The standard rules for photo contests apply:

* Only one photo per answer.
* You can make up to three posts (attempts).
* Do not delete posts if you don't get votes: you posted it, stand by it. (You have two more attempts if your first one doesn't work out.)
* All submissions should have a line with when and where the photo was taken.
* The photo has to be taken by the person who posted it, or by a travel partner (needs to be named).
* Keep it nice, non-offensive, and non-NSFW.
* If you disagree with a photo, please consider leaving a comment on it or bringing it up in chat. For the purposes of judging, only upvotes will be considered; downvotes will not affect the score of the photo.
* The photo may have been taken any time.
* The photo competition will begin October 1, 2021, 0:00 UTC, and continue until the end of the month (again in UTC). If there is no tie for the highest number of upvotes at the end of the month, the winner will be announced then; if there is, the voting period may extend beyond the month.
