My youngest and his girlfriend enjoy going for walks around our area. One of their favorite places is the local town park. Judging from the few people around, this location isn't well know. That might be because of the many choices we have, or the close proximity to the Catskill Mountains, Berkshire Mountains and Adirondack Park. I was so excited when they asked if I wanted to bring my Goodest Boy along on a cooler summer day.
Kito was happy to go for a walk with his Mama.
Colonie Town Park is a hidden gem that I encouraged folks to go to. The 160 acre park is alongside the Mohawk River. It has a swimming pool, two pavilions, picnic areas, a playground, cross-country ski trails, a dog park, tennis courts and football and softball fields. We went there for the nature trails.
Doggo loved walking through the woods and sniffing all the smells. Sometimes I had to redirect him when his Beagle nose sensed something off in the distance.
Of course I had to take nature photos because, who wouldn't with all this beauty surrounding them?The Mohawk River Was absolutely gorgeous, with the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge ("Twin Bridges") off in the distance.
Kito was so thirsty by the time we arrived at the Mohawk. No that wasn't anything dangerous in the water. They make sure the park is safe for the animals who visit.
Back to our walk as we head to the car. Doggo loved this walk and even had a nice gentleman who works there comment on his cuteness.
Seriously, isn't that covered bridge lovely?
Tired Doggo slept most of the way home after the initial "I don't like cars" whining.
whenever I go there are TONS Of people!! especially on the bike path!! but Crossings seems to be the draw. I miss you!! You ever gonna join in on one of the hikes??
ReplyDeleteWe must hit it at slower times. There are always people around the pool and playing ball but the trails always seem empty. When I'm in a better place I'll go on hikes. A year in and he's still dragging this divorce out trying to wear me down. He won't even leave the building like the court ordered so I can attend the 11:00. He just sits in the lobby and eats food from Servant's Cove.
