Fishtrap Creek Park — Attraction in Abbotsford

Fishtrap Creek is a great park. There is a walking loop, washrooms, baseball diamonds, and a playground too. I often see photographers here with wedding parties or families. There is a lot of open, sunny space, but the trails are nice and cool in the summer, as there is a large lake/ wetlands and plenty of mature trees. The trails also connect to another system of trails, and one can walk from one end of Abbotsford to the other with minimum roads and traffic. The playground is fairly large with swings, slides, and other equipment. There are benches too and other seating for picnics or just waiting for the kids.

UPDATE boardwalk now broken. Hard to navigate...

This has got to be one of the nicest city parks in the world. This park involves a path that goes around a small lake or some kind of waterway, and is part of Canada's Discovery Trail. The views are outstanding. There are beautiful structures, a variety of flora, wild geese, squirrels and rabbits to see along the path. It's very peaceful. The City of Abbotsford does a great job of maintaining this park, keeping paths clear for cycling...

Nice trail for a stroll, but it's too close to the highway and also a busy street, so it didn't feel so peaceful and relaxing as you walk. A lot of view of the creek/lake was obstructed by the bushes, and bushes/plants on either side of the trail wasn't to organized and didn't look pleasing.

However, the spots of views of the creek was beautiful, and there were quite a few spots of hidden / exposed areas with benches...
