Review from Christine R.
New Westminster, BC
11/14/2008
Glenbrook Ravine isn't much more than a gravel trail in a wooded ravine that cuts between the old BC Pen and Woodlands sites in New Westminster. Not a lot of people visit, though, so it's a nice place to walk when you'd like to be alone.
The pathway starts out in some nice gardens by the private Glenbrook amenities centre. They've got a cute little bridge and pond where old people like to hang out. When I come through with my big charging dog, I always feel like I'm running the gauntlet of old ladies and little yappers.
The ravine itself is pretty wild, with ivy and ferns climbing the steep sides, and blackberry bushes cut right up close to the path. It's especially nice, though, in the springtime when the trees are all budding out; in the winter, all those bare branches can look a little desolate.
It would be nice if the path was a little more developed - you can exit the park by climbing up the slope to Glenbrook Drive (which hooks up with Sixth Avenue), but it gets a little muddy after the rains. This is where having a dog that pulls on its leash a little comes in handy.
This end of the path at least ends near a shopping centre with a Starbucks, or you can cross the street to Queen's Park to keep walking farther on a pathway.
