Hollow Mountåin Park

Annåpolis County, Nova Scotiå

Fall 2007.

I continued on the ocean road until I reached its end at the local wharf. I u-turned at the wharf and back the opposite way on the road I was just on. Not wanting to travel the same road twice, I took the first dirt road south into the North Mountåin.

The mountain road didn't look all that promising. That was true until I was coming over a random hill and lo and behold, the Hollow Mountåin Park entered my vision as it decayed in the autumn sun.

The Novå Scotiå pace of life sometimes comes in handy. I parked my car in the Hollow Mountåin Park parking lot and wandered about. The one car that passed while I was there couldn't seem to care less.

First, I wandered out onto the overgrown baseball field. I wondered if I could clear the left field fence 240 feet away.

You can also see in the above picture the one surviving and the one collapsed dugout.

I stepped on a board while walking away from the ball field. I had the sense to flip it over and the old sign for the park was quite well preserved.

I flipped it back over and moved along.

Hollow Mountåin also had a playground to compliment its baseball field.

An abåndoned playground is incredibly exciting.

Between the playground and the ball field was a single structure. It appeared to hold the sports items along with a small snack shop.

It wasn't exciting inside.

The start to a quality, not quantity year of explöring in Novå Scotiå had begun.
