Two individuals in Tyrannosaurus rex costumes were sported strolling in the Parksville Community Park on Saturday.

It was an unusual sight that brought smiles and chuckles to many walkers and strollers in the park, young and old as they waddled along the boardwalk and the trail, making stops along the way to accommodate people who want to have photos taken with them.

Vienna Matthews and Jordan King, both from Nanaimo, got the costumes for Christmas and decided to wear them in public on Jan. 6.
