Mirabeau Park with it's beautiful waterfall and pond filled with turtles and ducks. Once a year it's stocked with fish for the kids to go fishing too.
There is a dock for fishing, an observation deck (which is where C and I were for this photo) and a gazebo for picnic's. There is also a paved trail that leads from the waterfall through a beautiful wooded area to a big open park.
After enjoying our stroll through Mirabeau park it was off to run around Discovery park. This is one of C's favorite parks. Discovery park is divided into several little sections: a playground area with swings, in-ground trampoline, slides and multiple jungle gym equipment to climb on. Then there is a separate sand area, an interactive water area, a musical section with drums and pipes, a section that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, covered picnic area and more. All the paved sidewalks have cute nursery rhymes too. Discovery park is always fun... and always busy!

and everyone's favorite... the swings
my little chicken watching the interactive water, but staying just out of reach from the sprays of water
Yeah! He finally got brave enough to run to the middle
until it sprayed him at least... then it sent him running for the edge again.
playing some music on the pipes
I call this the Alice in Wonderland section

We finished our visit off with some swinging in this lounge chair. Discovery park only has two of these chairs and there is always a line of kids waiting to use them. We didn't want to spend all our time waiting in a line so we enjoyed the rest of the park, but C would occasionally check back to see if either of these chairs were empty... and he finally got lucky!
