Loveland’s Mehaffey Park – Does the Map Look Like ‘Something’ to You?

Mehaffey Park in Loveland opened in the summer of 2015, unlike any park that Loveland had at the time. It has 64 acres of fun. It has an Adventure Playground, tennis courts, a skate park, picnic knolls, basketball courts, four pickleball courts, a dog park, disc golf and much more.

The thing is, the map of the park… kind of looks like… We’ll, you look and you decide, and see if you agree with me and others around the radio station in 2014.

The City of Loveland bought the land from the Mehaffey’s in 1997, and  started working on Mehaffey Park in the summer of 2013. With the opening of the park, it would become Loveland’s second largest developed park – second to Fairgrounds Park/Barnes Softball Complex.

Prior to Mehaffey Park being built, the City of Loveland released a map of how the park would be laid out. That map kind of looked like something out of my Jr. High health classes at Conrad Ball in Loveland, in the 80’s.

I printed out the map and took it around to my coworkers here at the radio station, to see if they saw the same thing that I saw when looking at the map. I asked eight coworkers… I got some varied answers, including a door handle and an alien screaming, but more than a few agreed with me.
