It was another warm afternoon after daycare and we headed to a park not too far from home, down in Queensborough. We spent some time looking for a cache called "Rabbit Hole" - or at least I did. Charlotte was too busy blowing dandelion clocks. I never did find the cache; it was getting a little overgrown and may be one of those that are best found in the winter. This park was pretty underwhelming. The map shows it as being right on the banks of the river, but it's not visible at all. Instead, it's the highways that dominate - just to the west is the off-ramp from the East-West Connector to the Queensborough Bridge, and right above is the highway itself, making its way to the Alex Fraser Bridge. It's noisy to say the least. But there is always a silver lining - Charlotte enjoyed watching the traffic helicopters that came by from time to time, keeping an eye on how things were going during the afternoon commute!
The park features the usual playground equipment - nothing too exciting here unfortunately. Charlotte did like the big glass bubble; she was a little hesitant to reach out into it at first, but soon realized that it was safe. The park is located at N 49.10.624 W 122.57.366: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=z7IAXiVD2wGY.ke14vi-3MYtI&pli=1

ReplyDeleteYour doughter looks happy.
You can't see, hear or smell the highways in the photos!
