Peace Park

Woohoo! As good as it gets! Not so much for the playground though, more for the tranquil location and peaceful ambience of aptly named, Peace Park. This is not a popular or well known park, by any stretch of the imagination, and I reckon that’s a good thing.
I have rarely seen anyone else in this park and a bit of seclusion is nice when you’re my age and still enjoy a good swing set. The park is just off a section on the Greenmount Walk Trail and offers a nice respite after a long walk on the golden brown gravel.
I like Peace Park because it’s not too manicured but it’s not unkept, either. The grass is always cut short and looks like it’s ready for business but there’s a little stream that runs through the sloping park. The stream is often overgrown in a lovely lush and adventurous sort of a way.
There’s the new-​ish colourful playground complete with swings, a slide and a sea-​saw type thing. Warning: the sea-​saw type thing does not excite, unless you’re about three years old. Then there’s a few pieces of older wooden equipment dotted around.
I love everything about Peace Park and always have a great time when I come here.
