Urban Surprise



We found this wading pool in a small park in the city. In the winter months it's just a stone square surrounded by a plot of grass but in the summer they turn on the jets and the water builds up a little shy of knee-high. On a sunny day it's a perfect gathering spot; a place for kids to let loose and splash like wild otters.




Even if you didn't come prepared with bathing suits and towels.




It's also adjacent to an ice cream store and a cafe - what more could you ask for? Whoever came up with this idea should get some kind of urban planning award and the key to the city. Or least a scoop of fresh marionberry buttermilk swirl ice cream...
