Merritt Island

Merritt Island Park Welland Canal Ontario Canada April 12, 2011

a lovely trip to merritt island park in welland ontario canada on april 12, 2011

linda, harry and clyde go for a stroll down memory lane remembering how we all bumped into each other over the past ten years.

our hopes and dreams and how harry and I used to come here when single and wish we could find our soulmates
i did a lot of praying and soul searching on this island and it was my favorite place to go for a good cry when I was down or feeling blue about a failed relationship

there's just something so comforting about being close to nature when you go through some rough or good times.

great for exercise you can see the sign with the different moves you can make, leg and back stretches.
many love to go rollerblading and biking on here. great place to take your dog (on a leash) and there's a playground for the kiddies to enjoy.

in the summer and fall there are many cultural events (food, dance, music, kids crafts, ymca day camps) on the island.

It's one of the main tourist attractions.

the river shown was formerly the fourth welland canal before the bypass was built in the 80s? (im not exactly sure about its date)

it's fun to watch the jet skis, water skiers, speed boats or do some fishing by the white bridge that connects merritt island to cross street (off of main street east)

it's about 5 minutes from the welland bus terminal on east main st.
