High Park - The End Of Our Vacation

 The last adventure of our vacation is to High Park.  It's a huge park with many different areas to explore.  The one thing it doesn't have is enough parking.  If you want to go and explore the park, do yourself a huge favour and take public transit.  We drove through the various parking areas and couldn't find a space anywhere.  We ended up having to park outside of the park on a side street.

I was very excited to see this play structure.  Not because I'm a big kid that wanted to play but because Mike Holmes from the TV show Holmes on Homes built it.  A few years ago some heartless people burned down the play structure and Mr. Holmes and his crew were kind enough to build it again, better than before.  It isn't just a play structure, it's a work of art.  There are many little touches that the crew added to it to make it special for the kids.

 In the middle of the park there is even a zoo.  I had no idea.  They didn't have your typical zoo animals either.  They have alpacas, bison, and a few other animals that I had never heard of before.  It was a very interesting place for an up close encounter with the animals.

 This was suppose to be a maple leaf all made out of flowers.  It was very pretty.

 There is also a huge lake in the middle of the park that actually has fish in it.  We saw a few people fishing in the water but nobody caught anything when we were there.

This was so cool.  I saw this wood carving as we were walking.  I don't know who did it but though it was worth sharing.
