This is one of the most fascinating parks I have ever been in. There is just so much to do there. In the summer there's a carousel and paddle boats, in the winter there is sledding and ice skating. There's a band shell. A gazebo. At one time in the distant past there was even a petting zoo. It's just so much fun! Here's some things I caught while at the park with my family today.
This is a nice detail on one of the park shelters.
Like I said, you can find anything at this park. There's an old fire engine parked there for the kids to play on, next to a fire house on stilts with a pole down the middle, and a little town for the kids to protect.
Ducks and geese are a major part of the park since the Yellow Creek runs through it. Now they have been immortalized.
And there's a nice barn for the ducks during the summer. I'm not sure where they go in the winter.
Flagstaff Hill is an iconic bit of the park. When my brother and I were younger, there were steps that ran up the right side of the waterfall and you could walk along them to get to the top of the hill. The steps have been closed off now, but they will always be a part of my memories.
Here's the alternate way to the top if you are walking and feeling adventurous. You can also drive, but who wants to do that. :)
It's a great view from the top! There's also a nice park up here and a frisbee golf course.
The park is a great place for anything you want to do. My daughter loves to swing and explore and my husband got a chance to work with his new camera today. The video footage he got looks fantastic! It helps when you have good material to work with though.
There was so much to see today and it was a great way to get back to walking.
Today's Motivation:
After going for so long without blogging and walking it's been hard to get going again. I just have to remember that it's only over when I stop. Sometimes, there will be breaks. Life happens. As long as I pick it back up again, I will keep heading in the right direction.
