Okay, whos' the joker? It's a phone...in the middle of the park...on a little shelf nailed to a tree. The cord winds around the tree behind it and disappears into the ground. There's a sticker on one side that says "if not working properly, call ..." with a phone number to call (presumably you would call from another tree--I mean phone). I was afraid to pick it up. I thought someone might be watching and jump out from behind me with a TV camera and an award for First Doofus Who Tried to Use the Forest Phone.
