For this project I chose to explore the Nature and Outdoor Recreation theme. I personally love finding a place to sit and have my alone time and that typically tends to be outdoors or at a coffee place. Being outdoors also really stirs my creativity, so by choosing this theme I’m really hoping to find a place that either brings me fresh ideas or a new peaceful place to sit. I would have chosen the coffee and tea theme, but I feel like I get enough of that already on campus with places like Grounds, KSA Cafe, and Traditions. I definitely don’t feel like I get enough natural area on campus besides when I make a trip to the oval, so I thought this would be a fresh topic to dig into. So far Ive been on a time crunch and haven’t had much time to explore far out into Cbus, but I did get a chance to explore a place nearby called Tuttle Park. It was kind of run down and empty, but it had four baseballs fields worth of good space to sit! The park is also located next to a river and contains some rustic looking stairs which makes this a good place to get some creativity feels going. I didn’t have the chance to stay there for long, but I looked on google maps to check it out a tad more and found out there’s a recreation center there that’s relatively hidden. Next time I go I’ll have to check out the center and also explore the river.
