Taken with Android Phone: There were literally hundreds of these spiders. Approximately 1 spider every 3-4 feet or closer. They often build webs that go from the tops of the shrubs(1-2 feet high) to the edge of the side walk. Sometimes the webs extend into the walking area of the sidewalk(see pic #5). This is definitely not an area for small children or pets to go for a walk at night without a flash light. I have nicknamed this area Black Window Ally! Note: This is not the only area where I am seeing these females. The entire park area has them depending on the ideal structures and shrubs to build the webs.
