Park'd in the heart ???? of Strathcona, this jewel of a park marks tribute to that word 'historic' in the context of YEG's continuous expansion south.
Cast-iron framed wood-slated benches invite young 'n small, older 'n tall to enjoy sunshine ???? at all times of the day.
Cobble stoned pathways invite park guests & intrepid word(l)y travellers to visit adjacent brick-stoned buildings including Edmonton's first public library, opening its doors to the avid reader over a century ago (the doors still work).
An art Barn & theatres are on the fringe ????of this most civic park, along with notable churches opening their doors to fellow citizens in need ????️.
Cafes & eateries ???? abound South-side of the park with open patios - chill-time in the sunlight ???? or moonshine ???? (nod, nod, wink, wink ☺️).
Commonly referred to as bike lanes, iron horses (civic term for bicycles) can be sighted in numbers riding off in all 4 directions ????.
Whistlering 'I'd like to be ...' from Ringo ????, you just might entice the park's world renown Glorious Pink Sparrow (aka GPS in street lingo) to land on oneself - who let the birds 'n beautiful people out? ????
Whatever you do, don't be shy. The grassed area are an open invitation to stretch legs with your loved ones 'n friends ????.
Whilst in Canada, do Canada - enjoy a park. Get it, got it ?????
Stefan Ashton aka Sparrow ✌️
P.S.: See if you can spot the gargoyles (hint: not depictions of former McIntyre constituents ????).
