A decided that we would have a nice impromptu picnic at Barnet Marine Park tonight. We didn't tell B we were going, so he was nicely surprised.

This park really is a hidden jem. I don't think enough people either think to come here or just don't bother to come here. The views are absolutely gorgeous and there is so much space. Lots of picnic tables and area for blankets. They even have bathrooms!!!
Two downsides ... parking sucks. It's a bit of a walk and the closer parking fills up fast. But, if you are used to White Pine Beach across the water ... you'll know about parking congestion.
Second is the geese. There are geese and then there are CANADIAN GEESE. These suckers ain't afraid. Ain't afraid of sh*t, so don't think you can scare them off. I found it was much easier to just kinda let them meander around us. If one got too close, a quick "HEY" was all it took to move it back.
All in all a great evening spent in just outside our own city, (as the park is technically in Burnaby) enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Until next time!
