Emery Barnes Park is a lovely little gem in downtown Vancouver. It's a busy spot at all times, but when we were there at lunch time on a Tuesday, it was really bustling. Charlotte really didn't spend much time on the playground itself as there is a water feature that few kids could resist. It's meant to be decorative, but with its stepping stones, child-sized bridges and the little "river" leading from the waterfall to the spray fountain, it's hard not to resist kicking off your sandals on a hot summer day. We had brought Charlotte's swimsuit along in anticipation of a trip to the beach later in the day, but we pulled it out here and let her loose. She made a new friend, as you can see from the picture. Maya was there with her mum and she did a great job of looking after Charlotte. While Pete was keeping an eye on Charlotte, I went off to find the geocache hidden just a few metres from the fountain, appropriately named "Emery Barnes Park Cache". The park is located at N 49.16.580 W 123.07.446 and is point no. 130 on the map at the bottom of home page.
