Seven Bends State Park
After hearing that there were new features at the children's play space at our State Park, I decided to take a look. Most of the features have a rustic appearance. The area looks natural and inviting.
I was very interested in seeing the new gundalow, a structure that represents the flat-bottomed boats that once carried goods downriver. A real gundalow was larger; this one is for children.
Looking at our rocky river today, one may wonder how any boat larger than a canoe could navigate the Shenandoah. Records show that people modified the river, moving rocks and other barriers to boats.

The bench and the stools are arranged in an interesting pattern.

Terrific shots. I wonder what Charlie thinks of it all.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a fun place. Those logs make an interesting walkway :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see play equipment made of logs...children will enjoy them as much as the rubber/plastic playgrounds I'm sure. Evidently Charlie does too!
ReplyDeleteLove the river view and your cute Charlie.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend.
It looks very nice there.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
