What's Your Favorite Park?

The unofficial start of summer is upon us — maybe you could tell by the gorgeous weather we had over the weekend.

So, it's time to break out the grill, to throw the ball around, to be a kid (no matter how old you are).

We have some amazing parks in the Twin Cities area, where you can find all sorts of activities: softball, baseball, cricket, gardening and more. Leaders in Corte Madera and Larkspur are always looking at the demands of our parks and how they can best serve the community, however.

So, what's your favorite neighborhood park and, as a bonus, what would you like to see in our parks. If you think we missed your favorite spot, let us know as soon as possible so we can include it in the voting. Here's the list, with links where available so you can get more details on each one:

Here are the choices:

• Hal Brown Park at Creekside
• Neighborhood Park
• Piper Park
• Dolliver Park
• Heatherwood Park
• Bon Air Landing Park
• Greenbrae School Park
• Hamilton Park
• Magnolia Avenue Park
• Niven Park
• Remillard Park
• Corte Madera Town Park
• San Clemente Park
• Menke Park

Also, comment here to let us know what's most important to you when you go the park. A BBQ area? Ballfields? Open space? We'll pass on your suggestions to the parks and recreation departments.

Remember, you have the power in deciding which one is named "The Most Popular Park In The Twin Cities." Voting comes in a variety of forms: you can vote in the poll below, but the poll is not scientific and is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. You also weigh in by writing in the Comments section below and by rating and reviewing the facilities on their . Comments are bonus points in the final decision. The poll is open through 9 a.m. Friday. The winner will be revealed Friday afternoon.
