Seven Oaks Oval Park


A block from where I grew up is a huge sinkhole, formally Seven Oaks Oval Park, and informally "the oval" or "the hole."  I have fond memories of playing here as a child.

This picture doesn't do justice as to how deep it really is.  I might have to try harder to show its depth another day.

It was already platted on this 1903 map.  (Plate 47 shows the park.)  According to one article I read, it officially became a park in 1922, but I haven't been able to verify that.
