Beira Lake Island Park

This park was marked on my map as a children's park. I took Arlo to check it out. The lake's waters are a stunning icepop emerald colour and they are navigated by a few immature pelicans dwarfed by swan paddle boats. You access the island via a pedestrian cable suspension bridge. As we crossed this I began to notice there seemed to be no swings and slides and that all of the sixty odd people on island were young couples, many nestling under umbrellas.We had stumbled into a lovers island. I scanned the tiny island in the hope that there might be one or two people on the island that didn't have a romantic agenda - but no. We left Noah's Ark and crossed back over the green waters.
