the park at alam damai

there's a park with a very western feel to its name called "The park at Alam Damai" about 1minute drive from home or i could opt to walk across the main road, it's a well hidden treasure for the residents of alam damai. 
i like to think that this is my park, i come here every evening for the past 3years, except for the occasional business trips which brings me away from home. it's a cosy place with a reasonable compound for various activities. a 100m cemented track for joggers and cyclists, lots of spacious ground for the boys to have their evening football game, a children's playground with an assortment of play tools, seating gazebos strategically placed at different spots in the park, lots of bench along the track in case you need a rest, 2 ponds which i've seen tortoises and small fish being fed every evening. 
i thought i should write about my park, as it has served me so well, through ups and downs. when i was unhappy, i walked myself happy along those tracks, sit on the grass enjoying the cool evening breeze, overlooking the streets and houses. when i was happy, i released my adrenaline walking through those tracks too. it's a place i look forward to be after work, when i could not, there will be tomorrow, because i know my park will be waiting. 
especially like how the branches extend out to the pathway. lots of shade

i thought this is a good place for jamie and jools to roam since this is a No Dog Allowed park, we could make use of the lower end where no one goes
kids love race down the slope on their bicycles from the upper right side all the way down to the left where it ends on a  field

the field. football games every evening

my favourite shades. sunnies not required :)

nice gazebos, romantic as well
