Park Week- Day 2

On Day 2 of Park Week, we were able to hit two parks before lunch. Lunch at home because we had some appointments, then off to the parks again. Here's where we went:

Hollow Park (Lindon).

We didn't get rained out this time. The kids got plenty of time on the playground and I was able to take Jr. Jr. on a nice walk in the stroller on the paved trail around the park. I even got picture of Jeremy and the kids at the playground with a house (?) in the background.

Seriously, that thing is huge. It's cool but... who lives in something that size? The photo only shows part of it. On Google Maps, the satellite image shows it shaped like a "W," so there's more to it on the other side. *Gasp.*

Pioneer Park (Lindon).

Playground, walking path that goes around the park, big open area, and a little pioneer house with a plaque telling about the history of the city's name.

Pheasant Brook Park (Lindon).

This playground had something different. Spinning chairs. Much excitement for the kids. The park also had a little stream with a bridge over it and a lot of open space for running around.

It was raining a bit when we left that park, so the next park we just looked at and planned for later. We wanted to take a look at one of the Provo parks and as we were headed that way realized we were close by one of the other parks on the list. It just so happened it was not raining when we got there so we were able to get out and run around.

Springwater Park (Orem).

Another huge area for running around and kite flying, the paved path was divided into lanes for cycling, and overall the park looked very well maintained.

It was sprinkling as we left and by the time we got down to the other park we were going to look at, it was pouring. We'll have to try again when it's dry. We went home by way of several other parks, driving by but not getting out. Either it was pouring down rain or we knew the playground equipment was soaked, but it was nice to find where some of them were located so we can add them to our "for sure we're going to visit" list.
Once again, it's nice to be flexible. We still didn't get to visit every park on our list from yesterday, but we got to play at one we weren't expecting today and we did get to scout out a few more even in the rain.

It was a good family day.
