We have been trying to hike Logan Park for a few weeks. I think the main attraction for me is the sweet little road the park sits in the middle of. It would be great to have a small farm there. It seems as if all owners were told to plant lilacs. There is a healthy lilac bush at almost each driveway. Today we finally got there for a relaxing hike.
All I can find online is this is a Saanich Park and at 6 hectares so it is a cozy 15 acres. The park reminded me of Butterfeild Park, our 13th hike. They are both small and exceptionally green. Both have well kept trails running around and through them.

| Wayne's parents are great fellow hikers who are up for any adventure. |

| Mark is telling Marlen about Friday when he looked up in the garden to see an eagle bearing down on him. |
This is a small enough park that we turned around at the end and hiked it in the opposite direction. There is always something else to see going the other way. It is nice to experience these smaller parks. The pace automatically slows and there is time to enjoy the company and conversation of friends.

| Speaking of friends...here is our newest, Anna. Good natured and tolerant, it was a treat to meet her and her traveling companion. |
 |
| Another perk of the small park; time to climb trees. |
Viaduct road runs off of Interurban between Camosun College and Glendale Garden's Quayle road. It is a peaceful place at the side of a quiet stretch of rural farmland. If you are out that way dont hesitate to stop and go for a walk. The trail is well groomed and soft with cedar chips making special shoes unnecessary. There are a couple of small inclines that could present problems for people with mobility issues but, having said that, I recommend this park to everyone. The transit system has a turn around just at the corner of Viaduct and Interurban but it is a far walk to the park from there.
Next week: Happy Mother's Day from Oak Haven Park
