Let's go and learn English at one of my local parks! Parks are great places to go when you just need to get away from the busy parts of life. I thought it would be a good idea to take you to the park and help you learn some English words and phrases that you can use there.
Enjoy!

✅ TRANSCRIPT:
Hi, Bob the Canadian here. Let’s learn English at the park!
Hey, Bob the Canadian here. Welcome to this video. If this is your first time here please click the subscribe button below and at some point during this video give me a thumbs up!
Hi, Bob the Canadian here. I thought today would be a great day to come to the park. And I’m at a park that has everything that I would want to have at a park to be able to do a video where I can help you learn English.
So let’s walk around and I will show you a whole bunch of things that, that a park, that a city park would have.
Often at a park you will find a playground. A place for kids to come and play. There will usually be a playground area like this, and usually there will be swings. I should go try one of these swings right now, what do you think, let me just aim the camera a little closer and let me run over and, and let me see how this goes.
I think I’m getting too old for that. Let’s, let’s move on to the next part of the park.
One thing that I really like at a park is if people keep it clean. It’s really nice if people pick up their garbage and put it into a proper garbage can.
This particular park has a really nice path where if you wanted to go for a walk, or if you wanted to go for bike ride, or if you just wanted to go for a run. It’s nice when a park has paths. This particular park also, I’m not sure if you can see them in the distance let’s turn for a sec, actually has light poles way over there. You can even come here at night if you needed to go for a run and you could do it safely.
Often times at a park you’ll also find outdoor covered areas. This particular covered area we would call a gazebo in English. It’s just really nice if it’s a really hot sunny day or if it’s a rainy day you can still come to the park and sit in the gazebo. You can bring a book, there’s some benches where you can sit.
This is what we would call a pavilion. Sometimes in the summer you can rent a pavilion at the local park, and you can have a family reunion in the pavilion. A family reunion is when you just get together with all of your family, and all of your extended family, just to see how everyone’s doing and what they’ve been up to.
Sometimes at the park the landscaping is even more extensive. We’re going to walk to the top of this in a minute. I think this is here and it’s up on a hill so that you can watch ships go by. I don’t think there’s a ship going by today in the canal. I was really hoping there would be, but we’ll walk to the top and we’ll see what we can see.
So I’m not sure how well you can see this, but behind me is the actual Welland Canal. When I was a kid every once in a while we would come to the canal and we would wave at all the sailors on the boats. And it would be people from all different countries. People from some of your countries that would be on huge ships. They would come through the Welland, they would come through the Welland Canal on their way out to Lake Ontario, and the eventually making their way down the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. But today, there’s no boats. Sorry. I was really hoping there would be a boat.
