    Petting farm donation box
    Lisa C.

    We kept hearing about the petting zoo at Queen's Park, but the distance from home made it quite the production to get out here. We finally decided to make the trip today, and I am glad we did. It was worth the effort. We took the skytrain to Columbia station then walked from there. I do not recommend this. Although the distance looked do-able on Google maps, I somehow completely forgot that New Westminster is a town built on a steep slope down towards the river. 25 minute walk on a hot day pushing a stroller sounds like a workout, but 25 minutes pushing a stroller uphill the whole way sounds like hell. Our walking route took us to the opposite end of the park as the petting zoo and having never been to the park before, I had a heck of a time trying to find it. There are directional signs in the park, but not one that we passed said "petting farm" Eventually, I spotted a sign above an archway with primary coloured letters when I was trying to find the ramp to get out of the rose garden (which I never did find) and figured that must be it. If you've been to the Children's Farm at Beacon Hill in Victoria... this is not that. They have the standard, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens/ducks, rabbits and peacocks. Unlike Beacon Hill, they do not have wood chips, the goats walk on hard packed dirt. which does nothing to absorb the pee smell, so be prepared for that. Also unlike Beacon Hill, there was one lone teenage staff member struggling to stay on top of poo patrol... so watch your step. There is no fee to enter, but there is a coin box for donations on the way out. There is no minimum donation. There is a large, well equipped hand wash station on the way out as well. The playground here is fantastic, so is the waterpark. So many imaginative structures to play on for bigger kids, as well as smaller structures for toddlers. There's plenty of shady benches to sit on. There is also a concession where you can get slush puppies for $1.5 and washroom facilities. In all, this is an excellent and budget friendly place to spend an afternoon with the kids.

    This is one of New Westminster's best parks. It boasts a hockey rink, rose gardens, a petting zoo, the local New Westminster Arts Council, and abundant tall evergreen parks which surround the area. Of particular interest is the Rose garden. There are at least 20 varieties of roses which are in peak condition in terms of pruning, color, and health of the foliage. And if that is not enough there are festivities in the park such as Canada Day celebrations and Anvil Day celebrations.

    Only the most beautiful family-friendly park in all of Greater Vancouver! (See photos)I've been to a lot of parks, and I've been to a lot of playgrounds. This park brings me back to the 80s with its petting zoo and aging play equipment. There's an updated toddler playground as well. The best part of this park has definitely got to be the spray park area. It is a river-themed spray park where my son spent hours watching his little boats move down the stream. Great for family picnics. We saw a lot of children's birthday parties happening the day we came. There's even live music on Sundays for the kids and adults to groove to and they play 80s movies on Saturday evenings in the summer! Kinda makes this city girl want to move to New West. Huh?

    Great path to walk along.

    Even though I have lived in Vancouver all my life, I only recently heard about Byrne Creek Ravine,…read morewhich is located right by Edmonds Station. I can't believe that all this time there was a wonderful walking trail right by the skytrain station! Since I've discovered the trail, I have gone three times, and I intend to go semi-regularly when I want some exercise but don't have the time for a long hike. The trail is a loop and doesn't take long to complete -- no more than an hour (I can complete it in about 45 minutes walking at a fast pace), and it's not particularly challenging. But there are 200 stairs (I counted) you must walk up at the end of the loop (or walk down at the beginning, depending on which direction you go), and the stairs are a great workout. It's perfect if you want a little cardio or want to increase your fitness level. (Last time I went, I walked up and down the stairs three times, for a total of 600 stairs up.) The trail is quite flat, although there are areas with quite a few roots and after about 20 to 30 minutes (depending on how fast you walk), there is a steep, but short, incline and about two dozen stairs to walk down (or up, if coming from the other way), so people with mobility issues may have some trouble. Otherwise it's an easy trail, perfect for someone who is looking for an easy, beginner hike. The trail can also be quite muddy, so I recommend hiking boots instead of running shoes. I'd give the Byrne Creek Ravine trail four stars, but I am removing a star due to the behaviour of asshole entitled dog owners and my experience the last time I went. Dogs are permitted on the trail, but they must be leashed. Of course many dog owners disregard this rule which is a problem when their f*cking dogs can't behave. The last time I was there, after walking up the 200 stairs, I was off to the side of the trail (ie. I was not blocking the way), catching my breath and drinking some water, when a dog, who was off leash, came bounding up the stairs and ran towards me. I firmly yelled "NO" to the dog and tried to take a step back (which was hard, because I was off to the side and if I had stepped too far back I would have fallen several feet into the ravine below, seriously injuring myself). The dog owner came walking up the stairs, and instead of APOLOGIZING to me or telling his dog to stop bothering me, he started yelling at me, for yelling at his dog. When I told him to train his dog, he swore at me and told me to train myself! And then he proceeded to continue yelling and swearing at me as he walked off. He was a tall white man, and I'm a petite Asian woman. I doubt he would have behaved like that had I been a man. Also, I had seen them earlier, walking beside the creek, off the trail, which is not allowed, as it disturbs the plants and fish. And the dog was wet, indicating it had been in the creek, which is absolutely forbidden. All in all the Byrne Creek Ravine loop is a lovely little trail if you're short on time and the stairs are a great workout, but beware of irresponsible dog owners. [Yelp collections: Hiking]

There is also a patch of greenery where yoga classes are conducted, and all are welcome. The concession stand is open during summer, great for a quick snack or an ice cream cone. Benches are everywhere for you to relax and enjoy the view of the Fraser River. It is a nice easy walk. Plus if you are still into Pokemon Go, there are gyms and pokestops around too.

Trees and lakes keep the air fresh, the noise pollution down and makes you feel like you escaped the city without leaving town. Plenty of people were enjoying the 69 degree weather. Some lounging in their lawn chairs, walking the dogs on the trail or canoeing on the lake. The boardwalk is especially nice for walking, for the structural metal strips keep it bike-free and peaceful. Meanwhile, there are many scenic trails through the trees that cyclists can enjoy. We completed the one hour/2.6 mile loop trail around the lake passing gorgeous heritage homes, a wedding taking place on the festival lawn and people fishing off the docks.

On a clear sunny day, this place beats any other concert venue: it's large enough for concert goers of all types to enjoy. You could easily make your way up to get close to the stage, or you could sit down on the lawn and listen to the tunes. Since the lawn tilts at an angle, it's easy to see the stage from almost anywhere, even if you're really far back. There are also a lot of food trucks to get food or drinks from, and there's a water station where you could fill up your water bottle. The only downside of this venue is that it's not very easily accessible by transit and parking is limited on a busy concert evening.

It also has a bit of dark history - the fishing pier and old house near the entrance were formerly where prisoners were brought in via the river to the old BC Pen across Columbia Street. But even if you know that, it's still a peaceful park to visit. Even on a sunny day, very few venture across the railway tracks to visit, so every time I come here, I've got the place practically to myself. The path is nicely landscaped and has a number of wooden bridges that make good stopping points to enjoy the view of the Fraser River in all it's working glory - tugboats, seabirds, log booms - with the mighty Golden Ears and Mt Baker in the distance. The only real problem is that, as of yet, the path abruptly ends at Front Street. Narrow and travelled heavily by freight trucks, it's not safe to walk further along the road. So, you must either turn back along the path, or walk along the paved trail that runs alongside the railroad tracks back to the beginning. This can be fun if there's a train going through, especially one of the Rocky Mountaineer trains, full of people who like to wave hello to me and my cute dog. Someday, I really hope that this park will be part of a much longer waterfront trail. That would be awesome.

Sapperton Landing is only accessible by vehicle if you're traveling east on East Columbia through a ramp down exit. The park's entrance is located at the intersection of East Columbia and Cumberland, but you can't enter the park by vehicle via Cumberland. The closest intersection to drive into the park is Richmond Street and East Columbia Street. By foot, you can easily get into the park off of East Columbia and Cumberland. It's a ten minute walk from the Sapperton SkyTrain Station, but be careful that you don't get ran over on Columbia by the many souls rat running through New West to avoid the Port Mann tolls. As far as picking blackberries as mentioned in the previous review, I wouldn't do it. The Metro Vancouver employees are constantly spraying herbicide.

Fun fact - the Chin church at the SE end of the park used to be a prison building (1 of 3 still remaining). The other 2 are a bit up along Richmond Street (look for the curved driveway) and the end of nearby Governors Court. The park has a couple of random sculptures, as well as a pond with a nice photogenic arched stone bridge (similar to the one at Stanley Park). There's a small green area, then the rest of the park is basically a single long trail through a (you guessed it) ravine.

There are a lot of people walking dogs here, and generally they're well behaved, which is nice. Something to keep in mind though, as the trail is a bit narrow so some contact is inevitable. The other thing that's really nice about this park is that there's a lot of tree cover along the entire length.

There is grass for the kids to play on, a few benches, and of course, a garbage can for all your needs. Ample garbage cans are most definitely a necessity if you have a dog... Or mess... Or anything really. Anyway, the path will then split, with one side (to the right) on a on a bit of an incline, and the other side of the path, continuing flat'ish. The inclined path will take you about half-way through the park (less than a half km), and you can either choose to get out of the park and walk through a residential lane, OR you can walk down the semi steep incline to meet back-up with the flat'ish path. The flat'ish path still has an incline (you'll find that out if you try and run it, and like me, you're horribly out of shape...) but is suitable for everyone, including gravel-friendly strollers. Tons of interesting flora/fauna and straight-up gorgeous at any time of the year. Big reason why this place is great to walk the dog (for us, at least) is because all the trees limit the pouring rain AND they provide ample shade on those sunny days. Our dog is a little old lady who hates the rain & gets overheated easily... She's basically a 50lb cat... You can leave the park through to Victoria Hill, or keep going t'll the end (about 1 or so KM from the start), where you'll pop-up right near Canada Games Pool (not near a Starbucks... Still another few blocks away).

It was in one of my books in which I learned about the Fraser Foreshore Park trail, and I planned a walk with my hiking group in October. The trail is a flat, easy trail along the Fraser River (ideal for people with mobility problems), and according to the book, it is 8km round trip and takes around 2.5 to 3 hours. However, despite walking at a slow, relaxed pace and stopping to take photos, the walk only took two hours. While it was a nice walk, I didn't find it particularly interesting and would prefer to try new trails before walking along this trail again. The trail is very transit accessible, with the #116 bus from Edmonds or Metrotown Station stopping minutes from the beginning of the trailhead on Boundary Road, but with the bus running only every half an hour, it's a bit of a pain to catch and what would be less than a ten minute drive ends up being a half an hour transit journey for me. Other things to note: within the park is a playground and picnic tables, as well as washrooms. But there are no washrooms at the beginning of the trail at Boundary, so if you need to use the bathroom at the beginning of the walk, you have to use the nearby gas station.
