Conception Bay South has been working on projects to benefit their town's health - getting them out and moving if you will. The new stadium has a free indoor walking track, most of the old rail bed has been converted to a graded walking trail, and the Kiwanis national peace park is currently being created/greatly updated. The new walking trail is only part of the a memorial park, and it can be seen from Peace Keepers Way highway.
The Telegram wrote an article of history of this land where the Kiwanis resides and it's importance back in March.
The trail is nicely groomed and leashed pet friendly. So far, it is about 3.7 km (total length) with more trail being developed. There are several signs and trash bins along to trail for use - and to encourage the lazy people (yes, I went there - L A Z Y) to actually pick up after their dogs to keep the trail nice for all users. This is a nice touch, because I really don't like carrying my dogs 'presents' for longer than I have to. So, having bins is convenient.
Corny joke - My Lab's reports are in, and this is an approved trail for strolls :P
This trail brings you to the other side of the highway through a tunnel. On that side of the tunnel I was surprised to see the remains of an old forest fire. It was small, by the looks of what remains, and life is starting to come back. These little purple flowers seem to be popping up everywhere in the damaged area. Do you know what they are called? They are so pretty.
Are their trails in your area that you enjoy? If so, tell me about them in the comments below. I look forward to reading about them.
Later Days,
Jen
