Playground in the Park

Good morning,

One of our recent mini road trips took us to Fernbank Park on the Ohio River, just West of Cincinnati.

The park has a wonderful play area for children that is safely fenced and secure so children can run and play.

 

I didn't get too close to take pictures of the children as I walked all the way around the play area to see the river, flowers, and tried to catch some images of birds.

Images of the river and flowers are to come.  I was not lucky today convincing the birds to hold still long enough for me, but I did enjoy their wonderful songs.

On around the big circle, past the restrooms, and back to the parking lot.

There is much more to see here.  My Honey and I did quite a bit of walking here on this beautiful day.  Fernbank Park is at the site of one of the locks on the Ohio River when a very complex lock system was built by the Army Corps of Engineers.  That lock system was obsolete as soon as it was complete so the locks are now gone at this spot, but some of the buildings remain.  More images to come.  :)

Best,
Lois
