Surrey Nature Centre — Attraction in Surrey

Lovely park in the middle of the city. Beautiful large evergreen trees. Small unpaved trails. Well maintained.

They have different adventure backpacks you can use for free, and if you have a fishing license, you can borrow a fishing pole for free, and the lake is stocked with trout. We did not have time to take advantage of these fun things but enjoyed our walk in nature in the middle of the city. P.S. If you are looking for a totally, away from city noises, quiet, look elsewhere. You can still hear the road noise beyond the trees within the main parts of the park.
