Harmony Boulevard Park

The good thing about being a parkrun tourist is not only does it keep me fit but we get to visit places we would have never otherwise visited. In the past few years most of the new parkruns have been in either far away country towns or newer purpose built housing estates.

The public places in these new areas are great. They have plenty of space, with parks that contain great playgrounds, and nature or gardens which is perfect for a parkrun.

The houses and units are a little too squashed and close together for my liking but if you like new, low maintenance and value for money living then this is the place for you.

There were a few twists and turns to keep you on your toes but otherwise fast and flat.

Once parkrun started there was a volunteer marshall standing at this junction to make sure we all went the right way.

That’s me in the orange fluro hat at the start line. All photos of me running were taken by the parkrun volunteer photographer of the day. So credit to them!
