Right from the day I first landed in Windsor, Ontario I suspected that the riverfront, with its nearly 5 kilometre long stretch of gorgeous parks and walking paths, would become “my” place in the city. Now, nearly three years later, those suspicions have been confirmed over and over and over again. I’m happy to visit the riverfront all year long, but summer weekends in particular don’t feel complete without at least some time spent watching the boats pass by, feeling the spray from the Peace Fountain, letting the grass tickle my toes, and smiling at my fellow Windsorites who are enjoying these things along with me.

Laurel, so lovely that this place appealed to you and that it contd to give you joy. Your post reminded me of the River Torrens that runs through Adelaide and gave me a lot all through my stay of 14 yrs

Beautiful! We live by a river here in Ottawa, and I can’t imagine life here without it.

We have a Riverside Drive here in Fredericton too and the walking trail goes right between it and the river. It’s such a nice walk in the Summer and Fall months. Your photo made me think of it.
