A miniature railway, a rose garden, a waterfall, and a round of mini-golf in Surrey's 150-acre secret.
Bear Creek Park, King George Blvd
More infoBear Creek Park is 150-odd acres of Surrey greenway most Vancouver daters have never considered, which is a mild tragedy given it hides a working miniature railway, a formal rose garden, and an actual waterfall. Ride the 12-inch-gauge train through the trees (sit up front, the grinning is unavoidable), wander the roses pretending you know their names, then follow the creek to the falls.
Park at the 88th Avenue and King George lot, right by the train station and mini-golf so you don't have to hike across the whole park first. Ride the miniature train (a few dollars each, cash-friendly) for the loop through the forest, then walk it off toward the formal rose garden, which peaks in June and July and is the most underrated photo spot in Surrey. Don't miss following the Bear Creek trail down to the small waterfall and the old wooden footbridge, most visitors never leave the playground end and miss it entirely. Check the schedule before you go, since session times shift seasonally and the train doesn't run continuously. Bring layers; the tree canopy keeps it cool even on a warm day.
