Leanyer Recreation Park.

Sunday 8th June.

Off to church at 9:30am to the Casuarina Uniting Church where we have been previously.

This is a lovely church, mostly glass louvre windows from ceiling to floor to allow a breeze to gently blow through. The church is set in a lovely green park setting.

After church we drove the short distance to the Casuarina shopping centre to look for sandals for Gail as she had broken a strap on her existing ones. Unable to find a suitable pair so I will try and superglue the dislodged strap back in place as a short term solution.

Next stop was the Leanyer Recreation Park where there is the most magnificent complex of;

An outdoor swimming pool in the form of a lagoon surrounded by lawns and palms. There is also a water park for kids with water cannons, a giant bucket that fills then empties every couple of minutes much to the delight of those standing under the louvred metal roof so as not to get knocked out by the sudden rush of water. Also a skateboard park, electric barbecues, a coffee shop and plenty of shade shelters and picnic tables etc. All in all, a very family oriented park and all FREE. We had taken a picnic lunch and chairs so had another swim then relaxed after lunch with our books for a couple of hours reading.
