Creek Freak reader Joel McKown sent us these photos of North Atwater Park doing its job during today’s rains. For more background on this creek restoration park project, see the post from earlier this week (follow links there for details.)

Be safe out there during the rains – rain-swollen local creeks and rivers can be deadly – but it’s fun to carefully check out some of these rainwater parks while it’s actually raining!
