Some of places in Weston Park were pretty easy to find, although some proved difficult.
The miniature train still runs, although it has a lot more going on there now, with a big playground area and more buildings. I'm not 100% sure I even saw the same building as was there before.

I was able to find the exact spot for some of the trees on the western side of the park looking towards Government House, but not others.

On the eastern side I had a lot more trouble trying to find the exact spots where photos were taken. Again it was a lot of guessing.

The easiest thing to find was the row of cherry blossoms along the road up from the lake to the nursery. Some of the same trees are still there which is pretty cool.
