Another great park in Surrey, this one is maintained by MetroVanvouver.
We've been here before, in 2014. At that time, the park was very rough, with one very long trail to a swampy area, and pretty much just a Fraser River flood plain. Now the park has established trails, nature playground, interpretive trail signs, and almost 7 km of walking trails, as well as biking trails. There are also outhouses (fairly clean) and picnic areas

There are 3 separate trails: Spirea Loop (1.7 km), Pacific (3 km), and Parsons (3.2 km). We did the Spirea Trail. The trails are flat, wide, and fine gravel, very easy to walk on, and you could use a walker of wheelchair down the middle pretty easily. The surrounding flood plain is wide and clear of tall trees, so you get great views of the marshes, grass, and mountains in the distance. There are sections where the river is visible, and a couple of bridges over waterways that flow in and out of the park. We went in the winter, so there were no ducks or birds, aside from a lone hawk, but in the spring and summer, the trees, marches, and fields will be full of birds, squirrels, and butterflies ... and mosquitoes, I am sure!

There are a few geocaches in the park, including a multi-cache (we solved it!).
This is a shared path park, so there might be bikes on the path with you. Dogs are allow ON A LEASH, and please pick up after your mutt 😀
MetroVancouver has a great
website for the park, including a video, a photo gallery, some information about the park, and a Trail Guide/Map and Brochure.
