The estate around the castle is about 130 hectares. The park of Groeneveld castle was built in the Dutch Baroque style, which is characterized by strict geometric shapes and impressive driveways.
When the English landscape style took off in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the park was transformed. Water features, hills, winding paths and trees were created.
An ice cellar was also constructed. It still exists and is now inhabited by big-eared bats.

Brook Park
Park in Te Kuiti, New Zealand
Brook Park is one of the most significant reserves within the district and provides a leisure reserve for resident and visitors as well as protects the community's heritage.
The Park is situated on the north western boundary of the Te Kuiti township. The many exotic trees form an umbrella over the hillside, creating an Autumn display of colour and an attractive entrance to Te Kuiti.
The "Park Bridge" provides cyclists and pedestrians with a safe, quick crossing of one of Antwerp's busiest traffic arteries.
Located at the end of long, wide walkway lined by Spanish Moss-laden Oak trees, the fountain in Forsyth Park dates to 1858, and is one of the best known sights in Savannah, Georgia. And, it is surrounded by a circular fence. :-)

Went out on this lovely winter evening ... feeling more like Spring with temperatures near 60 degrees F. Of course they are calling for potential measurable snow again by Friday here ... we'll see.
Been wanting to take some captures at the relatively new park along Middle River, called Wilson Point Park. Nice boardwalk along the river, with some neat structures around too. Had some fun with them here in the blue hour.
