A Walk in the Park

I like the beautifully landscaped park around the towers. And I hate it too, for some reason.

One feature I like of the park is the wading pools and the playgorund. Children must love the wading pools and the playground. They are one of the best around the city. Too bad they don't have these during my childhood time. I bring my kids here once in a while just to let them have fun in the wading pools and at the playground. Trouble is, when it comes to going home ... I think you get the idea.

However, try not to let the kids do the following:
1. drinking or swallowing too much of the water because the chlorine content is somewhat high. You can smell it easily. Furthermore, the water may not be entirely clear of contaminants.
2. staying too long in the water, i.e. over one hour, because prolonged exposure to certain chemicals used to treat the water may lead to other complications in some children, especially to the skin. If you know your kids have some kind of allergies, then remember this advice. Staying too long in the water can also lead to mild hypothermia, which later may develop into a cold or asthma. So, time your stay.
3. wandering off on their own beyond their parent's visual range, especially in the playground area. Due to the area's size and variety of play equipment, children can easily get carried away and eventually lost. Believe me, trying to find your lost kids in this playground can be quite a horrifying experience.

Well, I think it's time for a walk in the park.
