| - Since I just moved to town I have been looking for all the fun local spots & a friend suggested Freedom Park to me. I was not disappointed! This place is so beautiful and I fell in love with it.
Moving away was kind of tough at first, and you are used to everything in your home town. Well, getting accustomed to Charlotte has been pretty easy so far because of gems like this. I had a park at home that I would frequent often & I'd argue that nothing could compare to it's awesomeness.
As we drove into the park, we passed baseball fields, soccer fields and tons of greenery. Cincinnati was never this green anywhere and that's been a huge bonus for me. When we drove to the parking lot, I was greeted with a black locomotive that you can actually PLAY on!!!! HOLY CRAP!! Did I go play on it?? Um, YES. Of course I did. There is a playground area for the kiddos and then a path that leads right up into the train.
I was the Train Conductor for about 5 minutes, took about 1000 pictures and then was ready to move on to the next bits of awesomeness. We took a path that led to a cement path and I have to admit, first I was skeptical since I held such high standards for my own park.
When we walked onto the path ahead it greeted me with warmth and sunshine streaming through the trees. There was a creek next to us with a man made water fall and the sound was so calming and peaceful. As we kept walking we realized there was a suspension bridge that crossed over into the other part of the park and I wanted to walk across it just because I could, Indiana Jones Style. I went over, came back and we walked past a nature center. We were going to go check it out but it looked like a field trip was going on and we didn't want to interrupt.
Back at the suspension bridge we crossed over to the other side of the park and it took my breath away... no, not because I'm out of shape and worn out from all this walking either. :P It was so beautiful, and my old park was crushed in my mind by the beauty of this new park. There was an amazing pond with ducks that swim right up to you hoping for a piece of your bread, and weeping willows that just cascade down into the waters edge. The spring flowers have been just amazing here and this park just showcased them all in a way I've never seen. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I will be a regular at this park for some picnics, peaceful walks & the occasional train conducting!
