Bear 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.
