Ruffey Lake Park

Ruffey Lake Park is a lovely, large public park in Doncaster with a large lake in the middle of the park. It has many walking tracks with paved roads, a playground, picnic tables and bbqs, even a ninja warrior course for kids. What it is lacking though, is shade. There are barely any trees along the walking tracks, so when it is a sunny afternoon, it is not a good idea to walk the park unless one is equipped with sunnies, hat, loads of sunscreen and long sleeve shirt and pants. Riding a mobility scooter would not hurt either. The tracks have a slight gradient which makes it quite a workout. 



 There is a nice boardwalk along the lake where one could try to spot frogs, crickets and ducks. 

We walked for a close to an hour, but could not persevere under the hot sun and soon left for the comfort of air conditioning in the car and home.
