From The Westerville News:

Alum Creek Park North is the meeting grounds Saturday for Westerville Parks and Recreation’s Autumn Arborfest where the city shows off some of the equipment and techniques used to maintain its designation as Tree City USA.

That means someone, usually kids, rarely their parents, gets bucket rides, gets to climb trees, and use rappelling equipment to climb into and dangle from trees in the park. The photo at top shows a young girl hanging from a limb of one of those trees.

Missing from this year’s displays of youthful bravado is the American Elm at the top of the sledding hill. That’s the tree in the photo above. It was removed in July when it showed signs of dying.
