Exploring Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park

Today we spent the day exploring Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park, and impressive expanse of urban park in Manitoba's largest city. My parents were along for the visit.
Our first stop was the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden.

Next, we headed over to the English Garden, with its proper, manicured flower beds.

We continued on to the Duck Pond
and the Pavilion.

We cut through the Nature Playground, which we had visited previously,
and got some ice cream before heading out.

As I had mentioned, this was not our first visit to Assiniboine Park. Noelle, Sierra and I had visited in late May and toured the zoo,
 with its impressive Journey to Churchill exhibit.
The polar bears were definitely the stars of the exhibit,
and it features a glass tunnel you can walk through that the bears swim over and around.
However, there were seals and other animals also.
We also found the Winnie the Bear sculpture during our last visit.
It's a wonderful park and I would guess we will probably be back to visit again some day. Perhaps next visit we will explore the Assiniboine Forest section of the park.
