What a difference in the weather this year!  Although the temperature was 30+°C sitting under the trees by the creek it was lovely and cool - perfect knitting weather.


Becky and Chris are sitting on the bench and then from left to right - Nicola, Darleen, Charlotte, Julie (Darleen's friend visiting from England), Beth and Kath (my Mum).

 

 

 

When you turn off Spall Road as your enter Parkinson Recreation Centre parking lot you will see the tennis courts on your right hand side. 

Walk past the tennis court and you will see us just before the bridge over the creek. 

The area is very well shaded with a park bench, if you forget your chair. 

Washrooms are available in the main building, as well as, vending machines if you need a drink.

When we were looking for a location for Knit in the Park Day we were
concerned about finding somewhere that wouldn't be too hot as we
had been experience weather in the mid to high 30°C  (90-100°F).

On Friday August 14 we had a record rain full!  Now we are not complaining
because we needed the rain and it helped to get the Terrace Mountain fire
more contained.  On Saturday when I arrived at the Park it was a little
damp but because we were under the trees, even when it rained, we didn't
get wet, maybe, a little damp occasionally!  But we're knitters, what's a little
rain?  We had a great day and I know I'm really looking forward to next year.
