Walking Club Tues. 23 Jun

Well today we headed out to Killarney & wanted to do this walk I had found on the site of Van. Parks board. http://vancouver.ca/parks/activecommunity/walks.htm Well I must say we were disappointed with it. We had the nice glossy pamphlet but I swear these people who put this things out don't research it well or make it more user friendly. After awhile of trying to follow the map/brochure & making one wrong turn we gave up & got to a bus & made our way to the Skytrain. We took it & got off next stop at Nanamio & walked to Virginia's home for a break & then went over to Trout lake for the Aboriginal Day. There was lot of people, free entertainment & food if you want to stand in a line for over an hour. We opted to purchase a piece of homemade apple pie.
From Nanamio station we walked along the cycle/path route foloowing the skytrain route & discovered new things like a small Plaza/archway dedicated to the Filipino community. Also the new community gardens near Commercial & Victoria intersection. They have planted fruit trees as well park benches at the gardens. Cedar Cottage Community Garden
This is one thing that is sprouting up all over the city is commmunity gardens.

The first 2 pics were of people's front gardens. We loved the shrub with the twisted trunk.

These boats were in Trout Lake
