点评:After breakfast at The White Apron, we made our way to Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens for a short visit. Only 1 car was in the free parking lot at 8:55AM and we parked beside it as it was in the coveted shaded area (right side). This lovely park has mature shady trees, a paved bike path, meandering walkways, park benches, picnic tables, a dome roof metal gazebo and different feature gardens like a waterfall garden and a peony garden (already past blooming season; best seen in June). The Oshawa Creek runs through it so visitors have to walk/cycle over the picturesque Rotary bridge to get to the other side. There is no connecting bridge on the north side of the park so one has to retrace one's steps back to the Rotary bridge to return to the parking lot. No washrooms on site. We only stayed here for 20 mins but in that short time we agreed we found a gem.
翻译:在白围裙享用早餐后,我们前往奥沙瓦谷植物园进行短暂参观。早上 8 点 55 分只有一辆车在免费停车场,我们把车停在它旁边,因为它在令人垂涎的阴影区域(右侧)。这个可爱的公园有成熟的成荫树木、铺砌的自行车道、蜿蜒的人行道、公园长椅、野餐桌、圆顶屋顶金属凉亭和不同的特色花园,如瀑布花园和牡丹花园(已经过了开花季节;最好在六月看到) . Oshawa Creek 穿过它,因此游客必须步行/骑自行车穿过风景如画的 Rotary 桥才能到达另一边。公园北侧没有连接桥,需要原路返回到旋转桥才能返回停车场。现场没有洗手间。我们只在这里呆了 20 分钟,但在那短时间内我们一致认为我们找到了一颗宝石。
