Q9
#parkchat
“…And when I kiss you, just say to me, it's delightful…” There are “lover’s leaps” and “kissing trees” everywhere, it seems. Name a park site you’ve visited that has a connection to romance somehow.

“…You can hear dear Mother Nature murmuring low…” If you could give a park an award for it’s “soundscape”, which park would you choose and why? Is there a particular nature sound you look forward to hearing when you’re out in the wild?

“…so if you want to go walking, dear, It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely.” It’s your lunch break; you’ve been given the ability to teleport yourself anywhere to hike the most spectacular trail that takes 30 minutes or less. What de-lightful de-lovely trail would beckon you?

#parkchat
. “…The night is young, the skies are clear…” This is a two-part question. Part 1: if you could take a guest to a single park specifically to show them the beauty of the night skies, where would you take them? Part 2: Which park has the clearest skies you’ve ever seen?
