A Walk in the Park

Mike and I discovered a very nice park in town the other day.  Town Creek Park sits right in the middle of a very nice section of Auburn.  

                 

There is a nice entrance where you can park your car and has restroom facility along with a large fenced dog area.  On the day we visited there were several dogs happily at play in this safe area.  

We began our walk at this point and discovered a very nice wooden path and bridge over a creek.  

                   
 
                               

    

As we continued walking we saw a nice sized pond with a dock leading out to a pergola.  What a nice quiet place to just sit and listen to the birds or watch the turtles sunning.   You could tell it is spring with all the birds happily singing and so much pollen in the air.

                    

                            

The path just continued on around the pond where we met several people on the trail, some with children in strollers some walking their dogs and some just enjoying a nice spring day.

                    

                                           

On the back side of the pond we found an exercise play area for both larger children and adults.  A good place to tone those muscles.

                

 

There were a few side paths but they didn't lead to much...no outlet.  One side path led to a very nice public cemetery also called Town Creek.  

This park continued across the street with more walking trails.  We were pretty impressed with the park and the cleanliness and just how well done everything was.  A definite place to return enjoy and walk!!
