Either way, Dellwood park looks like a great place to visit: once conventionally attractive and now beautiful in a slightly sad way, I imagine.
I also like pic #8 of the boating lake. I'd love to meet that lady in the white hat, sitting up so straight in her boat.

Pic 1 is looking NE and Pics 2 & 3 are looking SW and NW respectively. Yes, that new steel/wood bridge is right where the lake used to be. Here's a real view of the same area, looking west. The woman with the hat would be on the other side of the concrete arch bridge.

Lots of vandals and riff-raff have left their mark over time. Once the Disc Golf park went in, the area changed drastically for the better though. There's a strong community of people dedicated to the sport that will go to great lengths to keep it safe and fun for everyone.
