We wanted to go out for a walk after dinner, so decided to go to Central Park in Burnaby. The sun was still out, and we walked till 9pm and didn't even notice the time this weeknight.
We knew that there was a fitness circuit in the park, but we saw new installations, including an elliptical, swivel pads, a monkey bar type station, etc. (http://www.burnaby.ca/Things-To-Do/Explore-Outdoors/Parks/Central-Park/Outdoor-Fitness-Circuit.html)
So, if you really wanted to use gym equipment but be outside, this was the place to go to. We walked around the trails, stopping at each one to try it out. Sure beats staying inside in a stuffy gym.
Euro Fest was also on and we could hear the music, which added to our energy. There were lots of families on the playgrounds, and many seniors taking a stroll. Walking by the ponds, we saw duck and geese, and lots of squirrels in the park. They were used to humans, they were waiting to be fed. However, I did see some kids show up with water guns...
It was so enjoyable, it was only the setting sun that told us to go home. I would recommend this park as a great place in the burbs to take a walk.
