Happy Birthday Canada! It was July 1st when Canada was born. All the people will celebrate the birth of Canada. In our city Guelph we have many activities at the park. Many people will come to have fun from morning until evening. One of my favorite places to stay and relax here in Guelph is Riverside. We often visit this place and have a picnic during summer. The most attractive parts in Riverside Park are the functional floral clock, the beautiful flowers, the playground and the waterfalls in front of the clock. This clock remains a tribute to a great designer John Jock Clark who was the park administrator and a dedicated servant of the said city since 1948 until his death in 1973. If you visit this place, I’m sure you will enjoy the pleasant, green acres of the said park. You can view the largest and most beautiful mechanical floral clocks in the Province. Floral clock consists of Forty-four feet in diameter; it contains 5,000 – 7,000 flowers, 14 varieties and a beautiful calendar on which the date is changed everyday. There is also a scale model of John Galt’s house, the founder of Guelph. You will be amaze and appreciate the beauty of the John Galt Gardens and a replica of the original map of Guelph City. You can also relax and enjoy with the snack bar, picnic areas, playing fields and band shell. This beautiful park is located at Woolwich, south of Woodlawn, Guelph City, Ontario, Canada.
