Hermann Park's Facelift

By
Home Inspector with Frank Schulte-Ladbeck Professional Real Estate Inspections

Well, there are parts of the park which have been cordoned off due to the construction, but this month brings some surprises at the park. First, it is nice to see that such a central part of the life at the city is being taken care of in such a loving way, and much of the park is getting some of this attention.The lake at Hermann park with ducks

Not all of the train tracks have been laid down yet, but a brand new train is running this month. The new train is larger than the old units, and it has caused quite a stir. I have never seen the train full so early. The new station has not been built yet, and the old station is not in service, so if you wish to ride this new beauty, you will have to walk around the corner from the old station to a temporary one. It looks like the tracks will take you through much more of the park.

There have been some minor changes in the Japanese Garden. Mainly, the park officials wish to prevent the damages done by people not staying on the path. However, there has been some changes to the structure of the garden, and it appears that there is more to come. The wonderful thing about this garden is that the azaleas are at their peak right now, so you should go to enjoy this shrubs show.Katya playing with an azalea

Parking has not been disrupted by this construction, so you will find that all of the usual parking spaces are available. With such nice weather right now, you will definitely enjoy your stroll.

Frank - Interesting...I enjoy trains and it's great to see railroad expansion taking place, which means ridership is up.  It's a great way to commute.

I should have take a picture of the train, Joseph, but I was remiss. It will be nice when all is complete, but it is fun now.

Thanks for the link Dale. I have read many of your posts, so I will head on over to subscribe to your blog. I was just inspecting a home in Deer Park two weeks ago. With traffic, they might not want to head over to Hermann to often I bet. Once the renovation is done, it will be a lot nicer.
