Hidden Lake Park Winter Wonderland in Merrillville, Indiana

Hidden Lake Park is located in between Broadway and I 65. It is the go to place for fun in the city. Playing host to the annual Christmas light display as well as the Fourth of July Celebrations.

Turkey Creek runs through the park making for wonderful scenery.

The entire park has many picnic areas for large and small groups. It also has a recreation building available for rent.

Hidden Lake has a nice lake as well and a large beach area. This is part of the play ground for the children.

More play ground equipment looking kind of lonely in this deep snow, although there were kids there the day I took this photo.

This is a shot looking west across the lake. Great place to watch the birds, fly a kite or walk your dog. There are numerous ball fields and many pavilions. Come enjoy Hidden Lake Park.

Look out Bambi Man is at it again!!

While I am not a hunter I do understand the need to control the population of our wild animals-so ok. My issue is not with the hunting of deer but with living with them. I live in NW Indiana just south of Chicago and it is in no way a rural area. Going to and from my office I drive a strip of road that is two lanes with two turn lanes making it a four lane road. Over the last several weeks I have had to stop to let assorted deer cross the road to avoid smashing into them. Ok I've got 5 minutes I can spare to save a life. Mine and or the deer's!! My problem is my fellow drivers. Last night at 7:15 I came upon a heard of 7 deer trying to cross in the same spot on the same busy street. Trying to help, I stopped in the middle of the street, put on my flashers and began flashing my headlights to get the attention of other drivers. No one paid any attention to me. It was like a race track. Fortunately for the deer and the several motorist who zoomed around me no one was maimed or killed. My question is-what does it take to get motorist to acknowledge there might be a danger on the road. Are we so oblivious to each other that we can pass at top speed a small woman in a flashing car with no notice.

As a Real Estate agent I spend a huge number of hours in my car-I'd really like to think that I can count on the other humans out there to watch out for the deer and me.
