Bellamy Park
Archivist’s Excerpt from: Alone in the Cold: The Story of Orphan Towne, its Strange History, & its Stranger Occupants, CVI 42.4
Situated at the very heart of Orphan Heights, beneath the suspended Heuridium Tower, lies Bellamy Park, the largest recreational and "natural" area within Orphan, rivaled only by the Agromatic Gardens in Rimsbury. Riddled with elevated Limeiron footbridges, winding brick strollways, statuary, and all varieties of once-native trees, the park is a favourite locale of romantic-intentioned pedestrians and the like, and was the first location fully illuminated by Lectral Incandescents, thanks to the labours of the Corps. of Lectral Incandescent Transitioning eager to prove the merits of this newfangled "light bulb" to the populous.
It is also the home of many of Orphan's historical plaques, statues, fountains, and other memorials, including its two most famous, the Statue of Megillius, Clinias, & the Athenian, and of course, the Statue of Cornelius Hickter at the park's center.
Like the other central areas of Orphan, Bellamy Park is under the auspices of one of the major Quarters who manage the various levels of the central portion, in this case, Almholt, though it is a public-access park. It is not uncommon to see folks from all classes and walks of life mingling in Bellamy Park, and so it has become something of the cultural level-field of the towne, which, in a sense, was the point, so cheers for its architects.
