We stumbled across Pleasant Run Park a couple of weeks ago but didn't have time to stop. I had Friday off and Craig and I were in the area so we figured we would explore a bit. The day was overcast and misting but warm.
The park is 11.5 acres of maintained open space and includes a small lake surrounded by green grass and some strategically placed benches. The area must have great fishing as there was evidence of quite a few anglers in the past. We also saw a couple of bass come up for a bug snack.
Lots of water lilies and cattails.
A really lovely stream runs along one side
Lots of little critters in the lake. Craig was looking for turtles and small fish in the shallows.
Painted turtle hatchlings. These guys were so new their shells were still soft.
There must be thousands of tadpoles in the lake
It was fun to explore and we came back with T after she came home from school to show her. I think there will be some fishing excursions planned for the summer.
