29. Cates Park, North Vancouver

 
Last night, Charlotte had her very first solo sleep-over at nana and grandad's.  She had been such a good girl that she deserved a treat when I went to pick her up this afternoon - and nothing is more of a treat to Charlotte than a visit to the playground!  Since we were in North Van already, we picked a North Van park - Cates Park.  The playground is on a rise overlooking Burrard Inlet - it's a very pretty spot, though the weather was turning chilly when we got there.  First thing that happened was that we found a credit card lying on the floor in the bathroom - couldn't find an owner for it though.  The playground here is a pretty decent one - there are two parts to it and we didn't even get around to trying out the smaller one.  Charlotte had fun climbing, though she wasn't into sliding this time around.  We met a little girl named Danica - that was the name of the amazing nurse who helped deliver Charlotte, so it's one of those names that has very nice connotations for me.  We spent lots of time here until it got too cold to keep going.  There is a cache not too far away, "The Cates Park Cache, but we didn't get around to looking for it - I don't think it was very Charlotte-friendly anyway, going by the description.  Maybe next time!  The park is located at N 49.18.152 W 122.57.373: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=z7IAXiVD2wGY.ke14vi-3MYtI&pli=1
