Glenmore Park

Located at Bonnymuir Dr and Glenmore Dr.

If you're looking for a pleasant, well thought out park that's fun for the whole family in the eastern British Properties, look no further than Glenmore Park. Seriously, it's the only park in the whole area that's more than a bunch of trees.

The park greets you with an idyllic grassy slope with the occasional tree casting dramatic shadows on the ground. There were several joggers passing through on the trails.


I was feeling good about this park until I saw the playground equipment:


I was ready to be disappointed with yet another park only just barely following through on its promise of playground equipment, and sing the praises of this spinny bucket thing


(which actually is really fun), when I noticed this behind some trees:


Folks, Glenmore Park has a real live actual playground. I haven't even got pictures of all of it. Get excited!

It's even got one of those toy diggers. My little brothers used to think those were the coolest things ever invented.


This park is pretty manufactured, but there's a little bit of wildlife left. There's a creek running through the middle of it, and the natural vegetation around that has been left intact. That vegetation includes trees! Trees that you can climb if you're good.


But if you don't like nature, there's a bridge over the creek so you don't have to touch it.

PPR
Good: grass, creek, trees, playground, tennis court, right on a bus route
Bad: um... there could always be more trees, I'm not sure
8.5/10
