Just when you think there’s no more open space in Westport — along comes last week’s Photo Challenge.
Chip Stephens’ shot showed an old-school tree fort, in the woods. (Click here to see.) Guesses included Winslow Park, Earthplace and Camp Mahackeno.
Good ideas, all. But the scene was actually the Children’s Natural Playground at the Leonard Schine Preserve, off Weston Road near Bridgewater’s complex.
Kristin Schneeman, Stan Skowronski and Jonathan McClure knew the answer. But overall, there were not many guesses. I guess too many people were outside, enjoying one of the most beautiful days of the year.
Perhaps they were at the Leonard Schine Preserve. It’s one of Westport’s hidden gems — literally and figuratively. Click here for details. But if you go, bring repellent — then check for deer ticks.
They don’t call it the “Natural Playground” for nothing.
Here’s this week’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d find it, click “Comments” below.
