Another Little Adventure

Its windy out there, there is the odd shower, no downpour but the sun is shining so let me take you on a little tour.  You will need a rain coat and some sensible footwear and I will take you on another little  tour of a hidden gem that we discovered on our way to the dentist this morning.  It is actually a children's play park but don't let that deter you.  There is plenty to entertain any age group and lots of seating areas if the going is a little tough.  Let this little adventure begin...




Are you manage to keep up, there is so much to see and learn.







It is a joy to wander the paths and let your eyes be drawn to the wonderful bridges over a babbling brook.  The information posts are a real delight and encourages even more observation and conversation. 




















Definitely a park that we will be returning to and certainly one for when we have little visitors.  I often moan about the winds here on this little Island that we now call home but that is nothing to what some are experiencing with the hurricane hitting land a few hours ago.  My heart goes out to all those affected and know that they will be in my prayers.

See you soon.

  1. Phew! out of breath and achy of leg after that ramble. It was so worth it though.

  2. I think my good knee would have gotten worse from the walk but I would trek it anyway. Would love to have a chair and park it right next to that babbling brook. Love the sound and that beautiful scenery. Enjoyed reading information on the wildlife in the area. A learning experience for me as I've not heard of a majority of them.
    My sister has a brook such as the one you shared in her back yard in Corinna Maine. Trout is in it and it's constantly running. Heavenly.

  4. What a wonderful nature retreat to visit! I enjoyed reading the panels about the birdies best! ♥

    When I first moved to this city I worked at a place called Newmarket Mall. Haven't thought about that in years - it's been torn down for 20 years now.

    Thank you for your visit and sweet comments, Lorraine. You are such a loyal sweet reader. Hugs.

  6. What an absolutely lovely park. I enjoyed reading about all of the birds and animals. Except the slug. I don’t like slugs! Ha ha! The babbling brook is lovely. Your little island paradise seems to be full of adventures just waiting to be had. Thank you for taking us with you today. Blessings, Betsy

  10. I love a nature path with signs explaining what to look for. I miss so much otherwise.
    That stream is rushing along quite briskly by the looks of it. I imagine the sound of it is lovely.

  16. You have found another charming spot where there's a play area and lovely natural features. The information boards give a good indication of what creatures you might see there. It would be a joy to see some of those birds.

  25. That was certainly a wonderful "find" Lorraine and thanks for all the descriptive photos. I'm sure you will be returning when the grandchildren next visit.

  26. Those information boards look really useful. So often these things are pretty superficial, created by people with little knowledge of their subjects, but these seem authentic and complete.

  27. What a wonderful find...and you found it on the way to the dentist! 😉 I could imagine that many happy hours could be spent in such lovely surroundings. My interest was picqued when I saw the name on the sign...I grew up in Newmarket, but it's here in Brisbane Australia. In my Newmarket we had a big park reserve which the locals call The Bird Sanctuary but it's official name is Environmental Reserve. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving comments. It's much appreciated but sadly I can't thank you via my blog.
