Mountains, Water, Trees

My favourite places around Vancouver to run and play and tralala the day away.

1. Cates Park

Dollarton Hwy
North Vancouver, BC V7G 1S3

Categories: Parks, Beaches

8/31/2008 First to Review

This North Vancouver park is surely one of the best places to go beachcombing without really leaving the city. When the tide is out, you can walk along for ages finding starfish and crab, or simply enjoying the scenery. Depending on which direction…More »

2. Panorama Park

2200 Panorama Drive
North Vancouver, BC V7G 1N5

Categories: Parks, Beaches

Neighbourhood: Deep Cove

9/5/2008 First to Review

A park and beach with a prettier view you will not find. Especially on a sunny day, it's great to sit on the grassy slopes and watch the kayakers, sailboats, and a few yachts go back and forth against a backdrop of calm waters, mountains, and…More »

3. Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve

Lillooet Rd
North Vancouver, BC V7M 1N5

Categories: Hiking, Parks

8/25/2008 First to Review

Formerly known as the Seymour Demonstration Forest, the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve features one of the best multi-use recreational trails in the Vancouver area.

The paved 10 kilometre path starts at the parking lot at the top of Lillooet…More »

4. Lynn Headwaters Regional Park

4800 Lynn Valley Rd
North Vancouver, BC V7K 3B2

Category: Hiking

Neighbourhood: Lynn Valley

10/17/2008

Lynn Headwaters is a great example of that gorgeous, in-our-backyard wilderness that every Vancouverite is so justly proud of. Your intro to this marvellous slice of rainforest is the rushing river pounding over gigantic rocks as you cross the bridge…More »

5. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge

3663 Park Rd
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
(604) 990-3755

Categories: Hiking, Parks

Neighbourhood: Lynn Valley

10/17/2008

I've never seen the sign about "four people on the bridge" that other posters have mentioned. Yikes! Don't think anyone is paying much attention.

Yes, Lynn Canyon is the free suspension bridge, and it's suspended high over a raging river. Most people…More »

6. Dundarave Seawalk

100 25th Street
West Vancouver, BC V7V 4H8

Categories: Hiking, Parks

Neighbourhood: Dundarave

10/17/2008 First to Review

The Dundarave Seawalk really is a thing of beauty. This wide, flat paved trail runs along West Vancouver's waterfront from Dundarave Park (near the Beach House Restaurant) to John Lawson Park. It's edged by well-maintained native shrubbery, with…More »

7. Queen's Park

1st St & 4th Ave
New Westminster, BC V3L

Category: Parks

8/15/2008 First to Review

If Queen's Park were a muffin, it would the kind that has everything in it but still tastes pretty darned good. It's got recreational facilities: paved and gravel trails for walking and biking, a fitness loop, two arenas, a baseball stadium, and a…More »

8. Buntzen Lake

Park Access Road
Anmore, BC V3H 0A3

Category: Lakes

10/17/2008 First to Review

Buntzen Lake requires a bit of a drive to reach, but it's a beautiful park with great trails, and really dog-friendly, too. There is a big fenced-in area on the southern end of the lake where dogs can play, as well as some nice trails where you can…More »

9. Crosstown Greenway

7th Ave
New Westminster, BC V3M 1K1

Category: Active Life

9/1/2008 First to Review

One of New Westminster's only signed and marked bike routes, this pleasant path along traffic-calmed 7th Avenue takes riders from the 22nd Street SkyTrain Station to Hume Park on the Coquitlam border. Bike buttons help in crossing the major…More »

10. Central Park

3883 Imperial St
Burnaby, BC V5S 3R2
(604) 294-7450

Category: Parks

Neighbourhood: Metrotown

10/17/2011

I do the most random bike rides here. It seems like there are innumerable gravel trails through the park, twisting this way and that through the woods, around duck ponds, playgrounds, a clearing with a gazebo. I can ride around for hours, going this…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine R.

Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13) Finds in the much-maligned big city.	Vacation in Washington State (18) I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery.
Shopping for food (21) I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too.	Adventures with Groupon (8) The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons.
Store pets (6) Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way!	Diners (14) All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon.
Can't talk, eating (3) The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now.	Two sticks and a ball (4) Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about?
Playing House (5) In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student.	Bright Lights, Royal City (50) Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile.
