Beautiful day,sun shining,gentle breeze..just perfect.The park has 3 or 4 different areas…the municipal,ornamental area,a sensory/ climbing children’s corner…a separate large green area where dogs are permitted and finally The Four Seasons cafe.
The path through the ornamental area is flat which is perfect for OH to practice his post knee replacement walking. We didn’t pass many people but those who were there stopped to say good morning and pass the time of day with us which was so nice.
The cherry trees were still full of blossom ,but the winds had knocked a lot off onto the ground providing a thick pink carpet.
The shadows from the blossom branches were magical.
After about an hour of gentle preambulation
a coffee was calling us so we headed for the Four Seasons cafe.
Hope to return again.

That is a very lovely park Julia, nicely kept. I am not surprised that you want to come back. I like your pictures of it.
