The wife and I got some food at McDonald's and went to the Oak Ridge Town Park to eat our food. It was nice watching the clouds while eating our food. 2/1/25 - went to the park to eat and read a book. Nice day and enjoyed a quiet moment. Great place to go!! 11/29/25 - went with the wife to get take out breakfast and eat at the park. There was a large number of people setting up holiday luminaries along the pathways. I believe the lighting will be soon, if not tonight. It was a pleasant, peaceful experience to be at the park.
