Mount Baker Park

There IS a living-in rooster on the north end of the park (next to the Children’s Garden). It seems this rooster has chosen Mount Baker Park as his home —I’ve seen him three times over the last three or four months.

Although I find this quite ludicrous, I hope he’s a pet in a nearby house where they feed him. And I also hope there are some hen neighbors around… Spring is here!! ;)

Today they closed a section of Mount Baker Blvd (along Mioposto) to traffic and pedestrians because they were shooting a commercial —apparently for a Toyota Corolla.

Here’s a pic. It was the big thing in this otherwise peaceful park.

…was when I first moved to the area, and I was walking with my dogs.

I was dropped off at the local dog park, and then I walked towards Genesee Park and onto Washington Lake. I had previously investigated on GoogleEarth that there were a couple roads to lead me home back from the lake, but there were no crosswalks to access them.

As I continued strolling, I was impressed with the beauty of the lakeshore. And I continued, and continued endlessly, until I finally came to a crosswalk which led me to the most beautiful park. It was love at first sight ;)

I thought I was waaaay off course, but the park made me forget as I was immersed in it. Then I reached the southern tip of the park and realized I was just 3 blocks from home! I was so surprised that I was so close, and yet I was ecstatic that I could come to this park more often :o)

Ever since, I’ve become a regular of the Mount Baker Park, and it still remains as my favorite park. It’s not small; it’s not big; it doesn’t have any outstanding features that would make it a huge attraction. But the feel of serenity and the general atmosphere of the place and its people is magnificent :o)
