Park Jordana

Thanks to one of our play dates, we discovered a great park that is near our house. A few people had mentioned it to me, but for some reason I thought it was a lot further away but one of the American moms pointed out that it was near our house. The kids and I took a ride over there one afternoon and spent a few hours roaming around- we found tennis courts, a volleyball net, soccer nets, climbing walls, skateboarding ramps, bouncy castles, lots of different playgrounds and cafes, and an icky little pond where you could rent paddle boats and mini motorboats. The kids were so excited!
A train that rides around the park
The train was loud and bumpy so Jack was a little nervous
There were lots of trees and quiet serene areas
Inside one of the cafes. Everything was in Polish and I didn't feel like trying to translate so Jack got a juice and Ava got some potato chips. I contemplated getting a beer with juice but those wicker bar stools looked very uncomfortable!
Scooting around the park and checking out the statues
This guy looked like Jack Nicholson and had a bullet hole on him with blood coming from it. Now this picture is reminding me to Google him to see what the story is
Finding the water activities
Having fun on the paddle boats. I managed to get nauseous on them as the kids were in charge of steering and didn't quite master it
happy kids

We ended up going back with two of the American mom's I met and their kids. It was fun but when you have 6 kids ranging in age from 4-11 no one wants to do the same thing!  They had fun anyway, especially going in the balls on the pond, and then rolling down the big hill behind the Wisla soccer stadium. It's a great place to go for a bike ride as well, so as soon as we figure out how to put our bike rack on the car the four of us can dust off our bikes that we bought in Dublin and never rode and head over!
