Welcome to the Stadspark in Groningen!
"Stadspark" means "city park" in English, it is a park in the city, as the name already indicates.😉 The Stadspark is not the only park in Groningen, but it is a very large park. When you walk far enough into the park, you can have the idea that you are in a calm area and you can forget that you are in a very busy and crowded city.
There is a lot to see at the Stadspark in Groningen. There are a lot of plants and animals you can spot. Even when you only focus on the birds, you can spot a wide variety of this class in the Stadspark: common blackbirds, ducks, finches, great tits, gulls, magpies, pigeons, robins, rooks, western jackdaws, woodpeckers and last but not least, the widely represented and ubiquitous geese.
Bird Sounds
Alongside all the different birds, you can spot other wild animals
like rabbits and squirrels. There are also highland cattles in one
area. Beside all the animals which are running wild in the park,
there is also a petting zoo with another diversity of animals.
And you can also spot me.
There are people doing sport activities in the park, like jogging and skating. There are also a lot of people who or walking the dog. Or people who like to walk just by themselves, like me. There is also a playground in the park, where mostly young kids are playing. Now you can see empty play equipment, because the weather was "bad" at that moment.
When the weather is "bad"; when it is rainy and wet and when it is cold outside, there are less people outside. That is the moment that the park is in the most peaceful and tranquil state. Then is the moment that you can spot the most animals you otherwise would not see. (But they can be hard to photograph as well. 😅)
Every day is unique, because of the various weather circumstances and the different seasons. You can see new appearances of nature every day. So no day is the same at the park. The Stadspark keeps developing and growing in it's own unique way. And something can seem to emerge out of nowhere the next day, like a flower or a previously hidden and small animal. You can see a new color in the sky, in the water and/or on the plants.
The Stadspark is a big park, so at first I could get lost. I could have no idea where I was. Nowadays I know exactly where I am, I have gained a lot of experience and wisdom. Sometimes I see a wandering traveller looking around and asking me where they are and then I am there for them to help them, giving them instructions how to reach the busy city again.
