Wild Bird Trust of BC — Attraction in District of North Vancouver

This park used to be so nice, it's an easy walk and close to my house. The last time I was here, we saw some deer and lots of birds 🐦. Today, we went again, and I was very disappointed about the draconian rules now in place. You are not allowed to jog, cycling, and go anywhere where they have these signs. I don't want a rep from the park to come and give me a lecture about the conservation of animal life. First off, all a lot of people who come here are birdwatchers, mostly older people who don't go in these areas anyway and I never saw people walking around the beach areas so to me seems more like someone trying to push their little power they have given and treat people who come here like little children. Besides looking at one of my photos, you can clearly see that on the other side, there are oil refineries, I would be more concerned about the impact of these installations, not the impact that visitors cause.

Dogs are not allowed (understandably) in most of the conservation area. They are allowed, on leash, only in the part on the east of the creek, just south of the parking lot - which means a walk won't take much more than...

Really enjoyed this green park pathway, saw some birds, a family of ducks, and even a family of deer. Paths are well marked and you can even search on google so that you don’t get lost. We did get a bit frightened when we thought we heard a bear in the distance due to snapping branches, but luckily we didn’t see one up close. There is a listing of all the wildlife spotted for the month on a board near the picnic area. Parking is somewhat limited, but it was very quiet when we went on a Saturday afternoon.

Note that there is no bicycle, jogging, or dogs...
