We do!! I was quite astonished myself. My daughter found it. She was like, daddy look at this same I was like what the fuck!? It is quite old and disused, all the graves were still the very early 1900s. It backs onto a sort of ravine. Normally we potter about at the bottom of the ravine at the river and I did always wonder what was up top. Some of the statues were pretty awesome!
I didn't even know this park was there until lockdown. Ten minutes walk away too!
Ooh a really old probably disused one, is it on a map? Back home there's a couple of old disused graveyards that I think may be on maps now but at one stage you just had to know where they were (or stumble across them and be surprised XD though this only really mattered if you were doing historical research or were very superstitious, for example my mum, sister and I refuse to pick chillies from one of the old disused Chinese cemeteries but JJ would have no qualms whatsoever and given the shenanigans my dad got up to in his youth I don't think he would either). And now you know what's on top of the ravine :D
Are your kids the type that really like looking over edges? I'm kind of surprised you didn't just pop up to the top of the ravine on one of your treks there if you were wondering what was up top.
Apparently lockdown is when people find all the cool nearby things. There's a large regional park a short drive from where we live and we used to be able to go there even on weekends and there would only be a literal handful or less of people there. After stupid virus, we traipsed over there one time to test out a new camera or lens or something that JJ had recently purchased and it was so impossibly packed out (carpark overflowing wtf that has never happened before) we thought there must be some kind of event on so we went further up the road to another part that was still busy but not as crazy (carpark still full but spots available).
Went up the following weekend to the same thing and then realised that "everyone" had newly discovered this gem on their back door after only being "allowed" out a short distance so figured we've lost that spot for the foreseeable future if we wanted a nice quiet hike XD
It's on a map! I checked. Although it is massive so I think we must have been at the disused end. It was all overgrown and the graves were all from the first world war type of time. The ikds got spooked so we couldn't investigate the whole thing. The demonic angel statue was the last straw for the little lady :OD
It's a massive ravine, to get to the top from the bottom would have been a ropes and climbing affair. Although it is quite comical because you don't notice you are descending into it until you are in.
This park suffers a bit from the everyone discovering it because of stupid lockdown syndrome. It can get quite busy so we go super early.
My kids do suffer from the looking over the edge thing. With the wee guy it was more nerve wracking because he is only three and didn't quite get the, you can Plummer to certain doom kind of thing!

Is little guy the type that looks over, decides it looks kinda high and then decides to try anyway? That was youngest for way too long x_x
Yep, looks over, sways in the wind, takes another tiny step closer looks over more, wobbles, takes another tiny step closer...
The goes nuts when you call him away!
That was exactly my youngest! I reckon it's shaved years off my life x_x LoL XD
Lol. Mine too. It's like he never learns or just wait to be free to learn himself by falling down a mighty drop!
