For the second day of volunteer-led walks from the City of Surrey, we did a 2.3 km route around Green Timbers Urban Forest.

The meeting point was the parking lot off of 100 Avenue. If you take your bike to transit, it will take you no time to cycle from Surrey Central Station. Or you could do like we did: from Surrey Central Station, took the R1, and walked one kilometer down from EB 104 Ave @144 St.
The best part about this route is that once you step inside, you might forget you are in the city. Big trees, bodies of water, and a diverse animal population. Beavers, ducks, herons, eagles, and chipmunks coexist in one of Surrey's largest parks.
We walked around Green Timbers Lake, a popular place for fishing towards the picnic area. Here you can find fully accessible tables with barbeque stands.
We ended with a cool-down session led by Sue Hodson from Live Well.
Here we prepared a little video of the route.
Happy Walking!
