Hadden Park

Located on Hadden Dr, near Southborough Dr.

Hadden Park is a ravine. Like most ravines, it has been used as a dumping ground:


Dear people,
Please stop doing this. Yard waste and old tires don't belong in ravines.
Sincierely,
All the kids who think ravines are cool

Unlike a lot of ravines, this one is actually accessible without bleeding or dying. I enlisted the help of a local sherpa who showed me the easiest way down the slope


But then we found an easier route on the way up. That's how it goes with ravines. There's no guarantee that you're going the right way, you just have to go for it and realize that you've made mistakes later. But that's why ravines are fun.

Another thing about ravines is that they're dark. There's not going to be any pictures from the creek bed, because those are dark too. All you need to know is that there is bushwhacking to do down there. So if you like bushwhacking, visit Hadden Park. If that's not your thing, then don't visit Hadden Park.

PPR
Good: trees, creek, ferns
Bad: dumping ground, steep ravine, bushwhacking skills required
