West Lions Skatepark (London, ON)

Mill Pond Trail – Cambridge, ON
Let’s explore the Mill Pond Trail in Cambridge, Ontario. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this trail run, but that is always part of the fun. I stopped briefly to read this sign. The term “walkway” made me think that the trail continued somewhere else. I looked to my left and saw…

Basil Grover Skatepark – London, Ontario
