Wednesday Walk Brooklawn Park
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
For todays walk I am sharing a walk I took recently around Brooklawn Park here in New Bedford, I have stopped by there many a time, but often only walked around a little pond they have which I have shared before, I had not explored it anywhere near as much as I had Buttonwood Park which is close to where I live.
I have shared this tree before in Autumn when it was so colorful, its right by where I park when I visit the park

Brooklawn Park is an 85 acre park is a multi-use complex which features 6-baseball and 2-softball fields, 2-basketball and 4-tennis courts, a skate park, playground, splash-pad, nature & cross country running trails. It is home to the Bay State Girls Softball League, the Whaling City Youth Baseball League and New Bedford Pony League Baseball.
a bit about its history In an effort to remove himself from the bustle of the city’s center, the prominent New Bedford Quaker, Daniel Ricketson built a country estate in what is now Brooklawn Park. Literary greats, such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, often visited Ricketson at his estate. Responding to the needs of a rapidly growing population due to the success of the textile industry, this land became a city park at the end of the 19th century.
for todays walk I explore more of the park
walking towards these buildings the one on the right is for the Bay State Girls baseball league

Weekly giveaway of shares
This week I am sending to the following who joined Wednesday Walk, for this week I did a random draw and the following each received some Hive @rem-steem, @djbravo, #sofs-su, @olga.maslievich , @ellenripley , @gabrielatravels
Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Dang, that is some tree! It looks like it was a beautiful day for this walk. I can see why the guy wanted to build out in this area. You can see how urban sprawl has crept into his once secluded estate though! Nice shots!
yeah urban sprawl is everywhere, but glad the park itself hasnt bene over taken
For sure!
What a beautiful park, natural and far away from so many people. I love the buildings and especially the ducks.
That tree looks huge and beautiful. A place to have a good time, nature, sport and animals. I love it!😍
it is such a cool park with so many uses by the people in the city
I loved it, it's beautiful and with so much green! Thank you very much @tattoodjay 😀
👍🙂👍
Nice park with quite a bit of activity there. I like the shot of the tree you took, awesome. Here's my submission for this week:

LOL glad to see someone else make the same typo I often do shit instead of shot :)
Haha I didn't even notice. Typing on phone I make them all the time. I changed so it's PG now :)
like I said its the same with me on my phone, i was laughing away when I saw it
Yup if and of, and an A turns into a S. I make these corrections all the time haha. One day I'll blog on a laptop
Such a large park and so much to see.
Love the geese in front of the building and seeing the tree 🌳 all green this time.
Looks like a lovely walk and maybe you should visit it more to see some activity.
Great spot to get out of your comfort zone I imagine.

thanks for sharing your link I will visit it soon
The pictures are looking amazing as always, I think I remember how colorful that tree was but it still looks wonderful all green. Also very true from the next picture, recycling is what we need to escape from the scourge of pollution, I really love that message.
Thank you so much for sharing and keep enjoying your week :}
thanks so much and yes that tree was so colorful in Autumn
YEs we all need to do what we can to stop pollution includign recycling
I like a good place there are sport facilities, very good picture taken. Thank you.
Love that tree at the beginning. I really am a tree lover. Big mature trees set by themselves like that always make me stop to appreciate them.
👍🙂👍
Thanks for your support dear.
