Three different parks belong to the Centennial Parklands:
Centennial Park, Moore Park and Queens Park.
After a very satisfying breakfast at our daughter’s place we drove to Centennial Park not far from where the daughter lives. We wanted to see what the place looked like where in 2006 we were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
We found the place without difficulty. We knew they had done some alterations a few years ago. So when we arrived there we noticed that to the original cafe a Kiosk had been added plus a lot of outside sitting area. On this mild sunny morning quite a few people were out already enjoying sitting outside with their refreshments from the kiosk.
The cafe looked inside still very much as it looked at the time of our Anniversary when we had lunch there with the whole family. The cafe was closed because it was still early in the morning but we could have a look through the glass-doors. So we took a photo looking inside from outside.
In some parts of the parks horse riding is allowed. On the way into the park we saw a few very beautiful horses with their riders. Unfortunately I did not think of taking picture and later on we didn’t see any horses anymore.
Here are some details from the Map Guide of the Parklands. There’s
Rollerblade Hire
Cycle Hire
Horse Hire
Dog Wash
Underground Reservoirs
and Bubblers

Hi I enjoyed your post. I must say that anyone that has been married 50 plus years should write a book on how to achieve that goal. Congrats on that….. Always enjoy your blog. Terri 🙂
Thanks very much for commenting, Terri. I am glad you enjoy my blog. You’re right, I should write more about my marriage. Being married for so long, of course there were many ups and downs.
Luckily marriage doesn’t require perfection. Mishaps and bad times have to be there too ….your so right! Perfection would be nice though! 🙂
I know I’m not perfect. However love overcomes many things. We are very blessed if there’s love in our lives.And laughter is so important. From your blogs, Terri, I take it that you consider laughter to be important too.
I felt like I was there having the best of times. Fun, exciting, wonderful post. Thank you.
Yes, it is a wonderful place to have so close to the city. Thanks for commenting. It’s great that you like the post.
