Pioneers Park

It was great to be able to sketch away from home again when Covid restrictions were eased. Pioneers Park was well used for exercise and socialising during the Covid pandemic and the locals have continued to enjoy gatherings there even though restrictions on visitors to the home have now been eased. 

Here's a little group enjoying the shade. Those people got up and repositioned themselves 3 times making it difficult to capture them! 

Outdoor dining has been added to cafes and restaurants to increase seating capacity and comply with Covid social distancing requirements. You can see the marquees outside the Primary@Pioneer Cafe in the background of this sketch. 

Here's a panoramic view of Pioneers Park. I still didn’t capture the size of that tree! The large shady area is popular with larger groups of people, usually with table and chairs!

This was sketched with my Casey U3A "Keeping a Sketchbook" class on a lovely warm day. We were all masked and social distanced of course and with just 7 of us it didn't break the 10 person Covid restriction rule.
