Hi, Bob the Canadian here.

I thought today would be a great day to come to the park.
7
21749
5190
00:26
And I’m at a park that has everything that I would want to have at a park to be able
8
26939
5010
00:31
to do a video where I can help you learn English.
9
31949

00:35
So let’s walk around and I will show you a whole bunch of things that, that a park,
10
35310
7270
00:42
that a city park would have.
11
42580
2260
00:44
Often at a park you will find a playground.
12
44840
3460
00:48
A place for kids to come and play.
13
48300
3140
00:51
There will usually be a playground area like this, and usually there will be swings.
14
51440
4880
00:56
I should go try one of these swings right now, what do you think, let me just aim the
15
56320
3120
00:59
camera a little closer and let me run over and, and let me see how this goes.
16
59440
6070
01:05
I think I’m getting too old for that.
17
65510
6099
01:11
Let’s, let’s move on to the next part of the park.
18
71609
3321
01:14
One thing that I really like at a park is if people keep it clean.
19
74930
4340
01:19
It’s really nice if people pick up their garbage and put it into a proper garbage can.
20
79270
11639
01:30
This particular park has a really nice path where if you wanted to go for a walk, or if
21
90909
5521
01:36
you wanted to go for bike ride, or if you just wanted to go for a run.
22
96430
4280
01:40
It’s nice when a park has paths.
23
100710
2380
01:43
This particular park also, I’m not sure if you can see them in the distance let’s
24
103090
4080
01:47
turn for a sec, actually has light poles way over there.
25
107170
5430
01:52
You can even come here at night if you needed to go for a run and you could do it safely.
26
112600
4290
01:56
Often times at a park you’ll also find outdoor covered areas.
27
116890
3429
02:00
This particular covered area we would call a gazebo in English.
28
120319
4760
02:05
It’s just really nice if it’s a really hot sunny day or if it’s a rainy day you
29
125079
5391
02:10
can still come to the park and sit in the gazebo.
30
130470
3480
02:13
You can bring a book, there’s some benches where you can sit.
31
133950
3220
02:17
This is what we would call a pavilion.
32
137170
3500
02:20
Sometimes in the summer you can rent a pavilion at the local park, and you can have a family
33
140670
5810
02:26
reunion in the pavilion.
34
146480
2490
02:28
A family reunion is when you just get together with all of your family, and all of your extended
35
148970
6780
02:35
family, just to see how everyone’s doing and what they’ve been up to.
36
155750
5240
02:40
Sometimes at the park the landscaping is even more extensive.
37
160990
3510
02:44
We’re going to walk to the top of this in a minute.
38
164500
3250
02:47
I think this is here and it’s up on a hill so that you can watch ships go by.
39
167750
5171
02:52
I don’t think there’s a ship going by today in the canal.
40
172921
3299
02:56
I was really hoping there would be, but we’ll walk to the top and we’ll see what we can
41
176220
4780
03:01
see.
42
181000
1000
03:02
So I’m not sure how well you can see this, but behind me is the actual Welland Canal.
43
182000
7150
03:09
When I was a kid every once in a while we would come to the canal and we would wave
44
189150
5760
03:14
at all the sailors on the boats.
45
194910
1540
03:16
And it would be people from all different countries.
46
196450
3320
03:19
People from some of your countries that would be on huge ships.
47
199770
4400
03:24
They would come through the Welland, they would come through the Welland Canal on their
48
204170
4670
03:28
way out to Lake Ontario, and the eventually making their way down the St. Lawrence River
49
208840
5590
03:34
to the Atlantic Ocean.
50
214430
3040
03:37
But today, there’s no boats.
51
217470
2840
03:40
Sorry.
52
220310
1000
03:41
I was really hoping there would be a boat.
53
221310
3970
03:45
One of my favourite things at the park is really big trees.
54
225280
5370
03:50
I just love trees that have lots of shade.
55
230650
3280
03:53
Normally if I do go to the park in the summer I end up sitting under a tree like this one.
56
233930
6190
04:00
I’m not a big fan of really warm days and lots of sunshine.
57
240120
3949
04:04
There’s , so, parks are cool because there’s big trees and there’s usually lots of grass
58
244069
5311
04:09
and just lots of green, so you feel really close to nature.
59
249380
4390
04:13
If you’re lucky, the park you’re at will have what we call a skate park.
60
253770
4320
04:18
A skate park is a place where you can bring your skateboard, your roller blades.
61
258090
5090
04:23
This is for much younger people.
62
263180
1610
04:24
I, Bob the Canadian does not come to the skate park, but you can come to the skate park,
63
264790
4780
04:29
usually there’s a bunch of people here.
64
269570
2440
04:32
Today it’s kind of empty, but anyways, one of the things you might find at a park is
65
272010
3950
04:35
a skate park.
66
275960
1910
04:37
Somebody forgot their helmet at the park.
67
277870
3250
04:41
I think I’ll just leave it here and while I’m making the video maybe they’ll come
68
281120
4810
04:45
and pick it up.
69
285930
1000
04:46
It’s really nice if a park has restrooms, or bathrooms, or in Canada we call them washrooms.
70
286930
9850
04:56
But sometimes you just need to go to the bathroom, you need to use the restroom and it’s nice
71
296780
6440
05:03
if a park actually has that.
72
303220
2610
05:05
Some smaller parks don’t, but usually a larger park like this park will have a restroom
73
305830
5750
05:11
where maybe you’re here with your family and your little kids, it’s nice to come
74
311580
4360
05:15
to a park where you can just take them to the bathroom.
75
315940
2410
05:18
Well, hey, that was super fun to be able to show you what a park looks like in Canada.
76
318350
6170
05:24
I’m sure in your cities you have parks.
77
324520
3630
05:28
They probably have even more flowers, if you’re in a warmer place.
78
328150
4910
05:33
But it was super fun to be able to show you the park and all of the different areas here.
