Where in the World is Gumbo? #36

 

WITW 37

 

Today Gumbo's taking a long walk.  A large and spacious green place with lots to see and do, when he came across this interesting building and pond.  What's that building, and where did Gumbo find it?

Looks a bit like a Tudor cottage stuck on top of an obelisk. Let me start the guessing with the idea that despite the decor, it's not all that old (since when Tudor-era builders used those wooden crosspieces they were structural, not decorative.)

 

But if I'm right about when, it completely unmoors this from the idea of 15th-century England, and it could be absolutely anywhere!

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations

Still no correct solution, so time for some clues.

 

1) Yes, PortMoresby, that is a Canadian flag on top of the building (but, does that mean it's in Canada????)

2) It is close to an important river and surrounded by more than 1000 acres of parkland

 

Does that help you figure out where Gumbo is?

Time for a little more information.

 

1)  GarryRF, it is not a theme park in the sense of Disneyland or SeaWorld.  But it is part of a park that covers over 1000 acres

2)  I was teasing about the flag.  It is a Canadian flag, and it is flying in Canada (although I've seem them fly in embassies and theme parks (Epcot for example) in other countries.

 

Does this help us figure out where Gumbo is?
