54. Bobolink Park, Vancouver

Today we needed a playground not too far off our route from Richmond to North Van - and it had better be a waterpark, given this heat wave! Bobolink Park seemed to fit the bill, but when we got there, we were disappointed to find the wading pool empty. Perhaps it had been drained for the day, but maybe it hadn't been in use at all - it seemed pretty dry. This was disappointing, but Charlotte managed to get in a good play anyway, though I preferred to find a bit of shade on this scorching hot day. There weren't too many other kids playing here, but Charlotte tried to make friends with a couple of crows that were hanging about. She kept asking them to come closer, holding her hands out to them, and was very disappointed each time they flew away! I believe there used to be a very tricky geocache in this park that I never did find. It's gone now though - I'm glad that now I will never have to find it! The park is located at N 49.12.931 W 123.03.376 and is point 54 on the map at the bottom of the home page.
