Four 15-letter across entries are the main feature of this Saturday crossword which sports an extra line across resulting in a 15x16 grid. Reportedly, four full-length entries, one atop another makes for a difficult puzzle to construct; however, equal difficulty for the solver doesn’t seem a result in this instance as the clues are fair, making for a leisurely stroll in the park.

CORNED BEEF; LA PROMENADE (28D. Renoir at the Getty); PRAIRIE DOG; YOU PASSED IT.Mid-size --
