Fraser Foreshore Park - Burnaby

by Jenavieve

Activity:

This park is on the Fraser river. It's a great place to see people fishing on the shore, to hike, or ride your bike. Dad likes to snooze in the car, while we play frisbee on the grass along the river. This is also a great place to come when it's really cold in the winter to watch the ice flowing down the river. Good place for KFC and a picnic in the summer.
