Garry Point Park - Steveston
by Jenavieve
Activity:
We usually go to Garry Point Park after having Fish and Chips at Dave's Restaurant - Steveston. Mom says we need to work off the Fish and Chips so we go to Garry Point for a walk. It's got a great view of the tugs and fishing boats coming and leaving the Fraser River. Being flat, it's a perfect place to walk, especially if you're little like me. Sometimes we fly a kite, or Nathan builds a fort on the beach. There's also a Japanese garden. And the sunsets are super dee duper.Age group:

other, while us kids can watch the boats, fly a kite, or play tag on the
beach.

The nice thing about Garry Point Park is that it's close to all the other attractions in Steveston. After flying a kite at Garry Point Park, bike on the dykes, eat fish and chips at Dave's, visit the cannery or shipyard or just poke around the quaint shops.
