Spring Street Park is an urban park. Urban parks are also known as municipal parks created to offer recreation and an open space reservation in an area. On our trip to Spring Street Park we acted as geologists and identified many different types of rock. We found gneiss which is a metamorphic rock that has nice layers or lines of rock. We also found some huge pieces of granite rock which contains pink feldspar and black hornblende. There is also a form of white feldspar which breaks in geometric layers. We also talked about the Shirley Hills District in which Spring Street Park is located. The Shirley Hills district was a twentieth century planned residential subdivision that was home to many prominent businessman and leaders in Macon. The designers believed that the area should give off a picturesque park-like vibe.
