Yes there is a creek sorta on and off

The recent heavy March 2013  actually briefly filled the RUNNEL my nickname for the creek / storm water drain that runs thru the park.

This is what it looks like on the rare occasions water is running or receding downslope before it  dries out again.

I wonder if it will ever be full enough for kids to do something as old fashioned as sail paper or leaf boats down it? I have not seen kids down that for a few years now?
