Wesburn Park has become a special place for me this winter. It proved to be the last playground adventure that Charlotte and Theo would share together. Theo and I explored the ravine by ourselves a little while after this adventure too, after he had received his cancer diagnosis, but before he began to decline. That outing will always provide happy memories for me. Back in November, we had no idea what was in store for us and we had a happy time here. We didn't spend all that much time on the actual playground itself, but instead played down by the creek. Theo looked for rocks that Charlotte obligingly tossed in for him. I found a geocache called "Little Ammo Can" in the rocks above the creek and Charlotte and Theo played Poohsticks together from the two wooden bridges that span the creek. After that, Charlotte jumped from rock to rock in the parking lot while Theo stayed close, protective as always. It was a cold winter afternoon, but we still managed to spend three or four hours here before we had to leave. The playground is located at N 49.14.518 W 123.00.689 and is point no. 148 on the map at the bottom of home page.
