Summer Park Adventures- quick recap 2

Ha ha...wow, I am so awesome at blogging that I just published that last post without even finishing it. So here is partie deux. Perhaps I will post one park at a time :)

Saddle Park 34500 Old Clayburn Rd (by Margaret Stenersen Elementary)
This is one of those lovely "power line parks", of which we seem to have a lot in Abbotsford. So if you don't own a microwave oven for safety reasons, you are most likely not going to like this park.
This is quite a small park, and more on the 'old school' side. It's wooden, has a funky climbing apparatus, a shaky bridge, and a decent slide. The hill by its one picnic table is the perfect length for teaching log rolling- not so long as to induce vomiting, but long enough to get a nice dizzy feeling, at least if you are either new to log rolling, or over the age of 30.
The kids' favourite part of this park was the GIANT tire. They could stand up inside it, on either side, and got a real kick out of that. It also has a good sized soccer field.
Upside: Big tire. Not too busy of a park, as it's so small, so it's nice for a quiet evening park visit.
Downside: Not toddler proof by today's standards. A bit scary, if you're a hover mother. And even if you're not. (just the climbing up part) No bathrooms. Power lines.

Kids LOOOVEd it though...just couldn't get over that tire...I think they gave it a 9/10
