The date

Central Park Pitch and Putt is the rare golf where skill is optional and that's the point. Eighteen short holes wind through towering Douglas firs in Burnaby's 220-acre Central Park, the average hole under 90 yards, so every missed putt is a small gift to the other person. When you're done, loop to the duck lagoon, where weekend hobbyists race remote-control boats, genuinely charming and completely weird.

How to do it

It's seasonal and daylight-dependent, so make this a spring-to-fall daytime date and call ahead or check Golf Burnaby for current hours before you drive over. Clubs and balls can be rented on site, so you can show up with nothing but competitive spirit; the holes average under 90 yards, meaning beginners genuinely have a shot and a friendly bet on the lowest score is half the fun. Don't miss the duck lagoon on the park's north side afterward, on weekends, hobbyists race remote-control boats there, and the full park perimeter loop is a flat 2 km if you want to keep strolling. Free parking is off Imperial Street, and Patterson SkyTrain station sits at the park's northeast corner if you'd rather transit in.
