Wascana Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, CANADA
Wascana park is one of the largest urban parks in North America. It is located
in the heart of the provincial capital city of Regina, which is located on the
great plains of western Canada. In this park sits the provincial legislative buildings
across the lake from the glockenspiel. Long ago Regina was also known as "pile
o bones". It was here that the bleached white skeletons of the last buffalo of
the great herds were piled. The park area now offers a venue for numerous winter
and summer activities. This particular area within the park has a glockenspiel,
which chimes all new years day. This wrinkle was taken in late afternoon as the
light was getting dimmer and the park lights were coming on. The weather was mild
being about -12 Celcius with a light snowfall. The glockenspiel can be seen atop
the building nearby.
