I like Haig Park, especially this end, between the Bowlo and the Childcare Centre (which all my kids went too). Apparently, many people don’t like Haig Park. I’ve been told by a few people that it’s not an inviting park. I disagree, it’s a welcome, shady, green band of nothing much, next to the city. Great for a dog walk or an easy run up and back.
Like many other places in the Inner North of Canberra, Haig Park West features prominently in the history of me.
For a while I lived opposite it. First time I lost my car keys was in Haig Park. Also, the first time my wallet was stolen was in Haig Park. Admittedly, the park can be a bit creepy after dark.
