We are just a 10 minute jog from Hagley Park - a huge city park with paved walkways, dirt trails, a gigantic duck pond, thousands of rugby pitches, and a golf course. Okay, maybe there are not quite thousands of rugby pitches, but there are LOTS. This is going to be the site for all or most of our morning runs, as it was this morning. It was -2C this morning - brrrr. There was frost all over the grass, but the sun was shining bright. It was the classic "crisp" morning.
We've seen tons of people out running and biking and walking at the park. It's great to have a place so close by with so many active people around. Many of the runners seem to be hauling ass like professionals, which makes us feel a little inadequate, but we're mostly okay with that.
According to the city council website, the park is 407 acres (compare to NYC's central park = 843 acres). When we first arrived, someone told us that Hagley park is one of the largest municipal parks in the world. We're not sure if this is true. Phoenix's South Mountain Park was 16,000 acres. We're just saying.
