The only places to go on a date here are just movie theaters, the bowling alley, the mall, and Applebees. Not much really unless you count the park as a place to go on a date. /smalltowngal

Why wouldn't you count the park as a place to go on a date? Or would it be a terrible place to go on a date? I'd take my crush to a park. Anywhere with lots of plants, really. A botanical garden maybe. I just find it so refreshing. It always makes me happy being surrounded by plants. I feel renewed. It is probably on the top of my "places to go on a date" list.

Am I that weird of a person? :c
Should I reconsider all of what I just wrote? lol
 
Oh I meant to say I wasn't sure if I should count it, but no omi you are not weird. I agree with you :3 The Park is really refreshing. The one near me has a beautiful pond with ducks and fish, and you can see them because the water is crystal clear.
 
Ok, thanks. It's good to hear that, haha. I'll keep it in my list then.

I just love being surrounded by nature. It isn't comparable to any other sensation I've ever felt. That's the main reason I love gardening so much. Taking care of my plants is relaxing and therapeutic. I also built a pond in my garden. <3 It has Koi and Carassius in it. Some freshwater shrimps, aquatic snails and many different minuscule animals. Papyrus grows in the center along with many floating plants. Pondskippers dance in the surface and algae grows in the walls and shore. The fish eat the plants, algae and some of the pondskippers. In turn the pondskippers eat mosquito larvae and stop a mosquito overpopulation. The shrimp eat the decaying matter in the floor in turn cleansing the environment and eliminating the excess of mud. The snails control the algae population and the algae population controls the floating plant population. The algae that gets uncovered when part of the water evaporates attracts bees that sip minerals from them. Birds come down and bathe there. The Papyrus is home to a spider nest. Beautiful spiders. The humidity created by the pond established the perfect environment for some ferns and other plants. Lizards drink and take sun baths at the edges. It is a small auto sustainable ecosystem I designed and created. The only way I interfere is by replenishing the water levels when they get too low in the dry season. This is the single thing in my life I'm the most proud of. I find it wonderful watching the ecosystem develop and see how it impacts the sorroundings. Some of my plants started producing seeds thanks to the bees that were attracted. Birds stay near because they can drink here. The water body made the mosquito population grow. In return the spider population grew too. The mosquito population returned to normal but the spider population started hunting other animals like the grasshoppers. Some plants grew stronger and started giving fruits, my blueberry being the most prominent one, after the spiders controlled the grasshopper population. It has been a magical process and I have adored every moment of it.

In the end, my biggest goal and lifelong dream is building and managing a wildlife refugee for plants and animals and every living organism. No matter how big or how small.

I'm sorry for the TL;DR. XD

Well, I guess you can see I'm really passionate about this. I am very proud of this project.
 
There's a park where we live, and thankfully, it's very close to our house. :] Takes only about five minutes to get there by walking.
 
I live out in the country, so nature is everywhere and I love it. There's also like 5 state parks all within a hour or 2 of where I live. One is pretty much just a petting zoo for kids, one's just a swimming hole with a nature trail, one is just a picnic area, one is just a picnic area with a skate park, and the last one is just open miles of offroad courses and stunt area people can take their trucks, ATVs and dirt bikes.
 
I live in a ♥♥♥♥ing ghost city....our only mall had his movie theatre closed to open like 5 different stores in there. And i can be nice towards nature but nature isn't nice to me.
 
Theres two parks but in the next town over small town=nothing which is why I have my RZR and motorcycle. Mudding and open roads make this place more interesting.
 
There isn't really a form of "park" in my city, all we got is maybe that area in the sorta-center with a lot of green and walkways and such..

Meanwhile I did my oral English exam today...
... in which I got a 2 by the way
(which is the second best grade you can get over here c:)
 
Awesome I just started two of my online courses they look like they will be easy but looks can be deceiving I did a online math course did all 8 weeks of the math homework in two weeks hardest moment ever.
 
I'm envious of everyone who lives in and around NY because of Central Park. Looks absolutely stunning from aerial view pictures, and it's superb compared to the "parks" we have here. We have hiking trails and woods, but they're not appealing enough to intrigue me into walking through them...
 
Oh my god Central Park is so amazing and it's so large ~ヾ(＾∇＾) just too bad that when I was in New York City five years ago, we never went to Central Park, though I wish we did :(

We have a lot of bike trails around us as well, and there are some that are quite a few miles as well, and not just short-length.
 
City parks in Colorado Springs are terribly mediocre, but they're very popular. Rather than go to one of those, any intelligent tourist would take a trip to the Garden of the Gods, which is a national park that encases four megalith sandstone structures shaped by the wind.

It's really breathtaking even for a yocal like me, and it not worth missing.
