92. Castle Park, Port Coquitlam

We made a plan for this cold, sunny Saturday afternoon - two playgrounds in a row!  One in Castle Park, the next one in Citadel Heights, right next door.  We hit Castle Park first - it has such a beautiful view over the Fraser River down below.  The playground was a bit big for Charlotte, though she really wanted to have a go on the see-saw.  A little boy of about Charlotte's age showed up with his parents and I suggested that she ask him to play with her.  She asked so nicely "Do you want to play on the see-saw with me?" - only she asked "Are you?" like she does.  The mum was all a-fluster - "Such nice asking!" but the little boy was a bit of a crybaby and didn't exactly rise to the occasion.  Charlotte was a little disappointed, so I suggested that maybe the see-saw wasn't his favourite part of the playground.  We walked over to Citadel Heights a block further up the hill, stopping to get a puzzle cache along the way, "Pet Shop Series #4".  It was a bit of a slog through the grass, and Charlotte wasn't much up for it, but we made it out in the end.  Citadel Heights was supposed to have a playground, but there was none to be found!  We found a little gravel area that looked like it may once have housed a playground - perhaps there used to be one here that was deemed too dangerous and was removed in favour of the new one at Castle Park.  The playground is located at N 49.13.925 W 122.46.821 and is point no. 92 on the map at the bottom of home page.
