Small urban park in the middle of the city. Great walking paths, lush grass, and as fall as officially started, gorgeous leaves turning colors. We sat by the lake across from the amphitheater for some time enjoying the sunshine, observing the animals (lots of birds and squirrels), and people-watching.
The animals are super fun. These squirrels are not as fat as the ones on my college campus back home in the US, but just as entertaining. We saw one climb into the trash can and pull out a brown paper bag another visitor had just tossed in. As it nom-ed on crumbs, several birds gathered round to try to take. Another squirrel stepped in and charged into some of the other birds. It took the bag when the first squirrel was done and finished the remains. Meanwhile, one bird chased another bird with a large piece of bagel in its mouth. On our way out of the park, we saw an albino squirrel.
Fun times. Everyone should bring a picnic and enjoy nature without having to hurt themselves (see my reviews of Mont Royal or Rhode Island Cliff Walk). Free plays in the summer and the lake is turned into an ice skating rink in the winter.
