This was the first time I asked ChatGPT for a trip suggestion. After evaluating a number of different suggestions, I decided to come here. I hadn't even heard of Peterborough before, but this was a good suggestion. We parked at a large municipal lot near the Riverwalk and headed over the foot bridge to Depot Park. There are a number of small stores and art galleries at Depot Park, and plenty of good photo opportunities. The only downside was that the Riverwalk is super short. It's not long enough to get a good walk in, so we also walked through the town, and visited a couple other parks nearby.

This walk was mostly on Grove and Main Streets. We stopped at a bunch of different spots for photos, including the town offices and the library. Our walk also included stops at Depot Park, Putnam Pak and Boccelli Park. We also looped around the neighborhood on River, Elm, Winter and Vale Streets to get some additional steps.

This park area off Grove Street features a grassy area with some benches and small gardens. There's a nice view of the river and the river dams. The bridge along Grove Street near the park was closed, so getting to this park was a bit of a challenge because we had to walk around the long way. There is a short trail at the rear of the park that goes up a hill with views of the river and the dams below. We also found a spot where Mandy and Lexi were able to cool off in the water.

This is a cute little park with gardens and seating areas, located directly across Grove Street from Putnam Park.
