Have you always wanted a personal playground with swings, monkey bars and a sandbox available to you at all times of the day? Are you sick of always cutting off the fun at sunset? We have the perfect answer to this common strife.
Oswego’s Novelis Family Park, located between West Third and West Fifth Streets, is up for grabs to anyone interested in purchasing a park.
The park is equipped with a playground for children, benches to rest (to not get your bottoms stained from the marvelously green grass) and trees for shade.
The park became famous among Oswego residents when President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Oswego during a nationwide tour at the end of World War II in 1945. Roosevelt visited refugees at Fort Ontario and later took a quick stroll at the park.
The swing he sat on has not been sat in since FDR’s bottom graced the leather-covered plastic seat in 1945. The seat itself runs for a high price on Amazon and eBay, but it is included in the overall asking price of the park.
During his visit, FDR accidentally spilled ice cream in northeast corner of the sandbox. Chunks of sand that stuck together from the melted ice cream still remain in that same corner today. The lucky purchaser is advised to not ingest these chunks as if to potentially retain FDR’s acknowledgeable mannerisms. It will not work. Science said so.
To purchase Novelis Family Park, contact Decade 22 representative Theses Ajok at 315-555-PARK.
