    On Friday, May 9th, we visited the Heron Glen Park in Vernon, BC. This park is filled with everything a child can want, from a playground, developmentally appropriate for children up to 10 years old, and diggers for the older kids (I say older kids as arms will need to be longer). A large field to run, a basketball court (one hoop), a toy box from the local Optimist Club, and swings! There is even a little free library on site!
