Valley View Park — Attraction in New Berlin

halcyon days

A calm and peaceful period of time. There was an old belief that two weeks of calm weather were to be expected just before and after the winter solstice, when the halcyon bird (a species akin to the kingfisher) calmed the sea in order to lay and hatch her eggs on a floating nest. That idea originated with the Greek myth of Alcyone, daughter of Aeolus, god of the winds, who was married to the king of Thessaly.

I applaud the City of New Berlin for funding this wonderful city park. It's beautiful to walk at any age. There are activities for everyone too.

Playground for the little kids. There is so much to do for any and all. It's a perfect place to enjoy nature any time...
