Playground on the creek

 

No parking right at the entrance to the playground...

So I parked up the hill a bit and walked down. I skipped my walking stick, because I knew it would be all up and down and gravel...and I mainly wanted to take photos.

As I walked in, several children playing in the fort decided to scream at the top of their lungs. After a while, another child asked them to stop yelling. It's part of my memory of that day forever!



In many places the creek is accessible for children. Some places there are rocks just making little dams to make pools. Of course it was too cold to be in the water in March.







I was wrong, one person did try wading (or perhaps just rock hopping) in the stream!

  4. A nice playground and walking path near the creek. When we watched grandchildren when they were little we spent a lot of time in various playgrounds and always appreciated how much fun they would have and how tired they were afterward so thta they would take a nap when we arrived back home!

    1. Good thinking, to let the kids play until they wear themselves out, and then the grandparents can also take a rest!

    1. It certainly does. In the past (maybe 5 years ago) there was parking along the side of the street, so lots of people could just drive up from Black Mountain and let their kids play there. I think the present parking situation is really a tough one.
