Stroll the Giant Redwoods at Redwood Park

Pioneer twin brothers planted this forest of giant sequoias in South Surrey a century ago and left a fairy-door kingdom behind.

The date

Redwood Park exists because two pioneer twin brothers planted a forest of giant sequoias in South Surrey, then apparently built a treehouse in it. That treehouse is now a replica of the century-old original, and locals have tucked a fairy-door kingdom into the trunks, charming or unhinged depending on your whimsy tolerance. The loops are short, flat, and free, with sequoias towering overhead. Finish with coffee at Morgan Crossing.

How to do it

Start from the main lot off 20 Avenue (washrooms, playground and picnic shelters right there). The main loop is a short, flat walk of roughly 1.5 km under towering Sierra redwoods and exotic trees, easy enough to take slow and actually wander. Don't miss the replica treehouse at the centre of the park, built where the pioneer Brown twins once lived, and the whimsical fairy doors and tiny 'kingdom' tucked into the tree trunks, a genuine surprise on a date. Memorable touch: come when low sun is filtering through the canopy for the best light, then drive a few minutes to Morgan Crossing for coffee. Short on time? Just walk the inner loop out to the treehouse and back in 20 minutes.
