I don't think the intent initially was to go to the park, but once he was in the water with his son, he made that decision.
Again, since he just moved here and I don't know what his connection to East Helena is (if there is one), he may not have known that he could have walked to Riggs and just on the other side of the creek is a path that leads to JFK park. It's not on the map above, but the shortcut is known by residents.
He would not have had to go all the way around to Harrison and the entrance (see map where it says "Memorial Park Swimming Pool".

The words are actually across the parking lot from the pool itself. Funny I always called that "the East Helena pool" and the pool in Helena "Memorial Park pool" (since that is the name of the park where the pool ... now Last Chance Splash ... is located). I don't know if Google is off or it's me.
