A familiar scene to all SSU students, faculty members, and area residents is Billings Park, a natural recreation center within the city of Superior. In the winter the park provides a setting for snow sports; in the spring it is a setting for nature to come to life once more; in the summer it provides facilities for picnicking, playing, sunning, and swimming; in the fall it provides a kaleidoscope of color and beauty. The University often uses the park’s facilities. During the summer an allschool picnic is held there and students frequently use a spare hour or leisurely afternoon to drive the short distance and wander about its lawns, woods, and shores. In this picture, members of the University Biology Club are enjoying an October outing, one of the last before the snows come. Billings Park is only one of a number of easily accessible and restful havens in the Northland. Northland- Land of Sky Blue Waters
