Central Park

On the Kingsway road, only 2 kilometers away from Burnaby's largest shopping mall, Metropolis, there is an urban oasis, Central Park. There is a lawn bowling alley with green grass and swinging clubs.

I live next to the Loyal Oak SkyTrain Station. Take two stops from Loyal Oak Station and get off at Patterson Station. Walk to the exit in the direction of the train. You will see Central Park written under Patterson. Once you exit the station, turn right to see Central Park. You just need to walk a little further to see the entrance. There are many small entrances. Anyway, the park is free, so it doesn't matter where you enter. I entered from a bicycle lane entrance and walked around for about 30 minutes. It felt similar to the previous online introduction, but there were also some key points that were not mentioned. The park is full of green trees, many tall and straight fir trees, which seem to be naturally grown. There are indeed many squirrels in the park, they are foraging or playing. There is an open-air swimming pool in the park. When I went there today, many people were swimming in it. It looked like a competition. There is also a female sculpture in the park, and things related to the sculpture are written in English and Korean around it. The most important thing is that there is a large picnic area in Central Park. The stone tables and chairs for picnics are irregularly distributed in the picnic area. The tables and chairs are very scattered, and it seems that one area is for a family or a small group. I think a big function of Central Park is picnics. There is also a football field in the park. Many roads in the park are semi-mud roads, so walking on the small roads will dirty your shoes, which I don’t like. Because the weather suddenly turned cold today and it was drizzling, I was tired and didn’t finish the walk and came back. If you live in Vancouver for a long time, it is a good choice to go wild with friends during holidays.

Burnaby Central Park is a good place to go when the weather is fine. For a family outing, go to the forested park to breathe fresh air and take your children to see the small animals. There are two small ponds inside, and you can also take photos to record the moments of life. Inadvertently, you can also find spotted, brown, and black squirrels running between the trees and grass, which are very cute. Running and brisk walking are also favorite sports for many people, and some people take their children to ride bicycles in it. The park is close to the light rail stations Patterson and Metrotown, which is very convenient. You can find it by looking at the map!

It is large in scale, with lush forests and many places to go. You will definitely like it there. Bring your children and family to have a look. I wish you a good time.

The heart of New York City is a place where many people gather. It is a great place for walking, running, leisure and exercise. It is not easy to have such a large park in the center of such a large city. Go and have fun.
