Falling for Autumn at Cates Park

The crisp air, the crunchy leaves, cozy sweaters and coffee and Baileys, how could I not fall in love with Fall? Our family jaunt on this beautiful autumn day was to my favourite park on the North Shore, Cates Park.
 
While we've visited this lovely park several times since moving to the Shore, we had never discovered this little trail that leads to several beaches and a small secluded playground.
 
 
 
 
 
 
By far my favourite Fall pic
Once my little guy was finished exploring and tossing the crunchy leaves around, we headed towards the beach, where my girl searched for little treasures amongst the seaweed.
 
 
 
 
When our bellies began to rumble for some lunch, we headed up a stairway which led back to the trails. My girl insisted that she help her little brother.
 
 
 
 
 
Cates park is home to a large playground, a beach with concessions, and the lovely trails that we explored today. A must visit if you're looking for some free family fun!
 
How are you enjoying the first days of Fall with your family?

  8. This looks like a wonderful place to explor. We don't have enough leaves down to crunch in. This beautiful park looks like it has a ton down already.
