Every park has their own set of rules-unspoken ones that it.
Rules like -
1. Don't step on the grass when it's breathing... learnt that one the hard way. I thought it was just moving in the breeze like grass just does but then a bird landed right on top of it and it just flipped over, revealing its deep red roots and twitching spine. Poor bird was stunned by the impact and didn't even tweet when the grass rose up, turned over and snapped down on it.
Better a bird than me though.
2. If the bridge has feathers - don't cross. Wait until the feathers disperse and if they haven't budged in more than ten minutes, just walk away. Damned wood dragons keep pretending to be quirky architectural structures and the second you set foot on them they recoil and drag you down, choking you like the weird lovechild of an anaconda and feather boa that they are.
Absolute nuisance but great at keeping the squirrel population in check.
3. Keep out of the pond and don't go anywhere near it if the path is wet. You might see a pregnant woman drowning in the middle or have a small child come up to you and ask you to fetch their ball that somehow landed out there but don't fall for it.
The water smells like iron for a damned good reason.
