Granted our parks are not necessarily groomed, coiffed and planted with sculptures and many (like the park behind me now) are classed as ECO with stern warnings to leave them in their totally natural state ..... well except we (the City) really really REALLY want you to cut down all the blackberry brambles cause there is no possibly way we can combat them and keep up and BTW you're not allowed to use any herbicides (systemic or otherwise) on this totally noxious weed........BUT I digress!
This morning me and the crew went out for a morning of fun and activity. Truth be told it was primarily to burn off energy as "I" am not self destructive when I have the crew visiting for the day. Hence we went to one of the numerous neighbourhood parks built by locals for the kids.
This particular park isn't overly big
but has play equipment for the wee ones up to the bigger kids and an ashphalt track that goes all the way around. Just long enough and just wide enough to get up a good bit of steam.
The climbing apparatus really attracts everybody and if brothers are going UP then little Miss Sister is also right behind.
The boys have now discovered Super Heros and this is their "save the world against the forces of evil look"
What is most interesting about this small park is that when it was built it was pretty plain. Many of the locals and some of the kids who use it and some City artists painted pictures that have been hung on the fence that surrounds the area. I quite like many of these pictures and some reflect considerable effort
The forecast said sun in the morning with afternoon rain(s) so we were all out bright and early however, for once the forecast lied and it didn't rain at all all day (also figures because I planted 6 heathers and didn't water them figuring they'd get watered down sufficiently naturally.........course if I had watered them am sure there would have been a deluge!
)All in all was a good morning - AND FUN WAS HAD BY ALL!
