New Town & The Ecological Reserve Park

On Saturday, March 5th, we did a lot of walking over to the new town area across the river. This is an area of new development to revitalize the old port lands (sounds similar to what Toronto has been talking about doing to their old port lands).  There are many high rise condos, waterside restaurants (we had a great lunch at one of them) and huge natural park lands, with lots of walking paths.

This is a statue of Roberto De Vicenzo, a famous Argentine golfer who won 

230 tournaments in his career.  However, he is most remembered for losing the 

1968 Masters after signing an incorrect score card.

The boardwalk had several statues of famous athletes

The Ecological Reserve Park had lots of natural habitat

The whole area was a massive park setting 

where people went to get away from the city
