Park Day #3
- Location: Stigelmeier Park / 810 Losson Road Cheektowaga, NY ( it's about a 10-15 minute drive from the Galleria Mall) Whichever way you're coming from, as you enter the park keep to the right, we'll meet at the large blue/green playground across from the bathrooms ( right before the accessible entrance to the trail)
- Date: Friday, June 5, 2009 *This is the new date*
- Time: 10:30 a.m. to 1-ish
Agenda: ( if we can call it that for a park play day) There is a fabulous, wonderful, beautiful, and marvelous nature trail at the park. I was thinking we could play on the climbing gyms for an hour or so, then head for a nature walk, then lunch, they play some more if desired!
What to bring: lunch ( if desired), treats for our nature trail animals ( crusty crumbly bread, peanuts in shells, birdseed, etc.) No deer feeding, this is the park where the "deer lady" was arrested, but feeding the other friendly pets is welcome. Bring a blanket if you'd like for lunch, picnic benches are limited, I think there's two by the playground.
Animals we may see: squirrels, chipmonks, deer, wild turkeys, snakes, and other usual crawly forest friends...plus lots of mold, trees...there's an area blocked off to show what overpopulation does to the forest...mini- science lesson in there me thinks!
Stroller toting mama's: A decent part of the trail is totally accessible, for strollers, wheelchairs, even bikes...so a baby "pack" or stroller works well.
Miscellaneous: The park has baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball nets, a bunch of play/ climbing thingys, plenty of ashphalt for roller-blading, walking, running, biking, etc.. many beautiful nature trails, a couple ponds, etc. It's just a beautiful, well-maintained, lovely place to bring your family sometime too!

Just an FYI about the park on Losson: it is technically a Cheektowaga-residents-only park, meaning you must live in Cheek. or be accompanied by someone who does. I have never been actually stopped or asked for ID except when renting a shelter. But, you never know.
We have Cheektowaga residents who are a part of our group and will be joining us on this fieldtrip. Thanks for checking on this, though. :)
