Peaceful Waters Sanctuary, Wellington

Peaceful Waters name is truly appropriate. It is such a beautiful Zen place that I am lucky enough to have very close to where I live. You never know what you will see there. Today we saw so many beautiful birds and just missed a display put on by an otter family. Having these kinds of places definitely makes life in Wellington even more wonderful.

Very peaceful. There is a short board walk or you can go around on the grass paths. Bring water because there are only random shade spots. There are benches, depending on what time of day will determine if the bench is shaded. Place is clean and has surprisingly little trash. The water has too much algea in it though. Lots of birds and lizard things to see, turtles too. Wildlife is still wild and will scurry away from you, especially if you're loud. Might have seen more but the animals are smart and stayed out of the 100ish degree heat.
