Here you can get really close to the cattle! A truly great place. Feeding is prohibited!

As always, green spaces and parks in big cities are always crowded, and this park was no exception... The high density of pedestrians and cyclists was difficult for our recumbent bikes..😅 Luckily, we know the Highland cattle from our local farmers, where we often admire them in the pastures on our ✅🚲—tours.

There were quite a few Highland cows on the property. Mothers and babies, and tan colored or black coloured. They seemed friendly enough with the babies coming to the fence for a pat. Some folk were feeding them carrots too.

Shared use paths through the park. An excellent place to ride very close to the heart of the city. It can get busy, but take your time and enjoys the coos!
