Jeremy Butler serves a pickleball on the Jeremy Butler Memorial Professional Pickle Ball Courts, Throw Park.
Acquired in 1955, Throw Park (named after the American Writer and Naturalist, Henry David Thoreau, who said "The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.")[1] is 246.8 acres in the NW quadrant of the city. The mostly wooded and undeveloped park does feature the Jeremy Butler Memorial Professional Pickle Ball courts; two box hockey boxes; a corn hole pitch; a lighted lacrosse, flag football, soccer field; a dozen tether ball poles under repair; a competitive clothesline court; and a field for flying radio controlled scale model aircraft and Asian fighting kites. Amenities include a restroom contained in the replica of Thoreau's Walden Cabin and a drinking fountain. There is also the Cloud Sump Platform for viewing clouds adjacent to the Winesburg & Winesburg RR right-of-way.
Winesburg, Indiana, was not the inspiration for Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life (1919). No, absolutely not.
