Back in June I used my day off to visit Olympic Park. (This post has actually been lying in the draft for ages because I was too lazy to edit the pictures… but here it finally is!) I’ve read about the rose garden there and I really wanted to visit. However, since I went in the middle of June, there actually weren’t as many roses as I expected. Rather than just seeing the rose garden, I decided to take a walk around the whole park to make the trip worth something. There’s a sculpture park there, I’m actually not sure if it’s an official park but there were many artworks on display outdoors. There’s also two museums there, I was thinking about visiting the art museum but I decided not to. It was very peaceful there and not many people, mainly elderly taking a stroll. All in all, it was just a nice place to take a walk and get a breath of fresh air. If I lived close by (ie. a walkable distance) I would probably visit a lot, but honestly, it’s not a trip I would make again just to see it. But it would be a nice place to have a picnic or just an outdoor day with friends, families, etc.
Olympic Park is located right outside of Exit 3 of Line 5 Olympic Park Station. There’s an information center there where you can pick up a map or ask the workers for directions.
(Note: If my photos appear a bit too saturated or contrasted it’s because my laptop calibrates photos differently. I’ve tried everything to fix it so people can see the images how I see it, but it gets tiring to check back and forth from different monitors so I’m just posting this because it’s way overdue!)
The big sphere is very cool!
