Notes:
Location can be tricky to find. Jerry Kelly has scouted this location and says it is,"in Manchester, next to 141, off Big Bend. Take 141 North from Big Bend, to the NEXT Left Turn ( Briarhurst) - Go west on Briarhurst One Block & then Right on HAZEL FALLS. Continue to the top of the hill, just before reaching a left curve in the street & at the Intersection of HOBBS MILL (which comes in from the Left), is the Park. From the street it doesn't look like there's a Park there, because it is about 10-15 feet higher in elevation than the street is & No Sign, big enough to read from the street & no road access or Parking Lot."
