Lovely walking trails amongst impressive trees and foliage. Very popular walking area forlocals. There is a pitch and putt golf course and many picnic tables. Located next to Swanguard Stadium.

Nestled in a bustling city, Central Park is a great place to escape for a few hours. I enjoy walking and riding my bicycle through the park. Easy access from Vancouver and Burnaby and plenty of free parking.

If you want an experience that completely regenerates your soul, take your bike up to Central Park and take an hour or two to ride all of the trails.
There are trees in here that will take your breath away with their majesty and they're all within touching distance of the bike routes. You can't get lost but you can feel like you're lost by taking random turns along the network of hard pan tracks throughout the park.
There are a couple of lakes,one in the middle and one at the south end and there are big open green spaces for picnics and games.

When I think about it the only other places that can compare in the local area are Stanley Park and UBC. Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake are beautiful in their own way but they don't have the gigantic trees.

In the summer you can make it even better by visiting the open air swimming pool

you don't have to fight traffic and parking is easy... get out and eat it up!
