Dogwood Park 

A homeless shelter located in Cookeville, TN. Disguised as an everyday run-of-the-mill public park, this large plot of land actually has a crackhead to civilian ratio of about 1:1. Catch it on a good day, and you might be able to take your kids to play in the playground without fear of a deranged stray sprinting on all fours around the area. Catch it on a bad day and, well, it's a whole different kind of playground. Innocently enough however, Dogwood Park offers a wide variety of recreational activities such as walking, and...yeah! If you're feeling daring, you can venture into the infamed "Storm Drain" where you can see some of the city's most talented artists' handiwork. There are enough penises and racial slurs spray painted in the tunnels, that even Leonardo da Vinci himself would be wracked with envy. Suffice to say, there is truly something for everyone from all walks of life in Dogwood Park, you just have to know where to look.

I entered Dogwood Park a fragile little boy, and came out a real man.
