Rockland Nature Strollers, Children's Park, 14 October 2008

We joined the Rockland Nature Strollers on one of their first outings at Children's Park in Chestnut Ridge... and we had a wonderful time! The variety of tree species at this park was astounding, and seeing them in the fall is the best experience. Olivia is extremely knowledgeable about plants and we named them with her as we walked along the paved path to the playground. We wound around a pond and along the Pascack Brook, pausing to see if we could find anything under the dead logs along the path. When we reached the newly upgraded playground we sat and watched leaves fall as the kids explored the new slides, stairs, and "mountains." The Autumn is a beautiful time, no matter which county you visit. We can't wait to return.
