As always, green spaces and parks in big cities are always crowded, and this park was no exception... The high density of pedestrians and cyclists was difficult for our recumbent bikes..😅 Luckily, we know the Highland cattle from our local farmers, where we often admire them in the pastures on our ✅🚲—tours.

There were quite a few Highland cows on the property. Mothers and babies, and tan colored or black coloured. They seemed friendly enough with the babies coming to the fence for a pat. Some folk were feeding them carrots too.
