Canada Manitoba Parks Picture of the Day

April 14, 2020: The Duck Pond, Winnipeg

DrFumblefinger 4/14/205:00 AM

The duck pond is a popular gathering spot in Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park. The character of the pond changes greatly with the seasons. In the summer it's home to lots of ducks and geese, but with the coming of winter (when the wise waterfowl head to warmer climes in the south) it becomes a popular place to skate.

When I visited with my father a few months ago we drove through the park on a cold day and came across these scenes of people skating on the pond -- everyone from kids just learning to people very experienced and fast on the ice.
