Lived here almost all my life & I am embarrassed to admit that up until very recently, I had never visited this wonderful park. 'Happyland Park' is its name, and it sure made us happy.
While out for a cycle on one of our recent hot Summer days, we were in need of some shade and decided to check it out.
What a delightful surprise to realize the strange looking, free-standing metal stands (seemingly randomly scattered throughout) were specifically made for Frisbee players! I had never, ever, come across a park in our city that actually caters to Frisbee players. It even has a Frisbee Course you can play (like in Golf). So the randomly scattered metal posts were not so random after all lol.
Way to go City of Winnipeg Parks & Recreation, for seeing the need & accommodating those people who enjoy a round of Frisbee!!
There is ALSO, a great playground for kids of all ages (even the adult kind lol), a big swimming pool (the old fashioned kind with the deep & shallow end), and the Seine Creek (River) running right through & around the park.
Add in the beautiful landscape with its rolling hills and nice walkways and it just gets better & better.
And AND!!....we also discovered a couple of firepits. (Not the 'ol rusted metal ones often found these days, but the big solid cement firepits that are now on our list of things to do this summer. (Hope I haven't ruined our chances because of this little review lol, but whatever ????.) It is meant to be enjoyed AND shared. What a gem in my opinion.
