let me tell you about the park, Buttonwood Park is described by some as the “crown jewel” of New Bedford’s parks. It’s the largest and most visited public park in the city. It’s also a historical treasure, designed by the famed architectural firm of Frederick Law Olmsted — the father of American landscape architecture.

Walk the paths. take the kids and let them have fun on the playground around the or throw some hoops on the basketball courts. Play with your dog on the Great Lawn. Relax and reflect as you rest on one of the benches, or simply enjoy the trees, flowers, and wildlife.

the day I took this walk I did walk around a good part of the park, but for this post an focusing on around the pond, I just find walking by the water is the most calming cpot for me, whether it is a beach a river or as in this case a pond

NOw I know I will show to much of the tree on the island so heres somethign different the pond has a lot of water lilies on it
