Road Trip


It was one of the first weekends we have had without visitors or a busy agenda. We decided it was the perfect day for a road trip, packing the car with;map, picnic supplies, swimming gear, rain apparel, camera and coffee, we were off! One of the great finds was a large wooden play ground. It was built like a castle, with turrets and corridors to hide and climb. There was ropes to climb, bridges to bounce, tires to manoeuvre. It was cool.
We live in an area where there aren't a lot of parks. Lots of trees, lakes, waterfalls, ponds and rocks, but not a lot of parks. So this was a gem of a find!

But where are all the neighbourhood kids? Doesn't anyone play at parks anymore?

It looks very cool.
Do you have to drive miles to get to it?

There are little kids at parks- preschool age, but no big kids don't play at parks anymore. I don't know what they are doing.I think here people are spread out enough that walking to a park isn't as feasible as in other places.
or like steve mentioned the kids were eaten :)


the park is in port carling which is about 40 mins away. Its just past bracebridge on 118. It was a really cool park. The beach was there, bathrooms, basketball courts, a trail, gardens. Very nice.
So its not a place we would drop by, but a road trip for sure!
