30. Stevens Mini-Park, Ladner

Today was both Pete’s birthday and Mother’s Day – of course we had to go out to celebrate! After a lovely day at the Reifel bird sanctuary, we stopped to pat some horses and then stopped at a small playground we have driven by many times before, Stevens Mini-Park. It is indeed a mini-park, just a fenced off area with a few pieces of equipment in it, but when you’re two, you don’t really need much! The slide here was pretty good – it had steps that were easy enough to climb, but it was quite a tall slide – tall enough that it took Charlotte a while to build up her courage to go down it. She also loved going on the seesaw with dad, and of course, no trip to the playground is complete without a go on the swings. Robins, mourning doves and chickadees all flitted through the park as we played. Some of the houses around here are amazing; check out the gigantic one behind Charlotte on the seesaw!  There is no geocache near the park, but there is a great power trail along the dyke just to the south. The park is located at N 49.05.207 W 123.06.020: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=z7IAXiVD2wGY.ke14vi-3MYtI&pli=1
