East River Drive, by Kaitlin

Category: East Side Community High School, NYC

I have a big community. But there is one special place that I always go to hang out with my friends and family. It's a park called East River DR! That park is a good park to play baseball, it has a lot of baseball fields. That park is special to me because I have a lot of memories with my family and friends going there. One memory is watching my uncle play a little league game, all my grandmother's friends were there and my grandmother had made food for all of us even for the players one my uncles team. Also we did BBQ's in that park, especially on a hot day!!! But the number one memory that stands out the most is every fourth of July my Dad and I watch the fire works, that is the most memorable day of my whole life because i usually don't see my Dad and that day brings us together. There is always a lot of people there on the fourth of July and your never alone at that park, like if you live in the Lower East Side you would know just about everybody there or remember a couple of faces. So now you know my most special place in New York.
