Deer Lake is where the Burnaby Heritage Village is. http://www.findfamilyfun.com/burnabyvillage.htm There is admission fee and on Canada Day is free. There is the old Interurban that use to run from Vancouver to Chilliwack fully restored and lot of early history of greater Burnaby and Vancouver area.
There were 7 people on the walk today, Virginia, Marilyn, Ken , Linda, Emily, and 2 new people Marie and Robert who we welcomed to our walking group on Saturday. We walked through the Century Gardens which was completed in 1967 and Burnaby official flower is the Rhododendron. There is also a community Clay Sculpture Project between Century Gardens and Shad bolt Theatre where there are lots of theatre plays. In the Shadbolt theatre there is a small coffee shop and from there we enjoyed the flowers and a apple tree which Virginia and Robert sampled and said they were delicious.
We walked to the lake and saw lot of Birds and the beach at Deer lake, across the lake we could see priviate residences on the lake, and on the southwest corner there are lots residences on hill, where the Okalla prison and Burnaby made it into deer lake park extension. Robert and Emily decided to walk up to Kingsway up hill, and the rest of walk back to get the l23 and Sky train back to the centre.
