Burnaby Central Park
本拿比中央公園
An urban forest of immense Douglas fir, western hemlock, poplar and maple, Central Park is similar to the magnificent rainforests that once
dominated North America's west coast. Located just minutes from Metrotown Mall, this wooded oasis will transport you far from the hustle and bustle of city living.
Central Park is known for its excellent sports and recreation facilities. There's tennis, golfing at the pitch and putt, a large outdoor pool and a horseshoe pitch. The park's many trails (marked with signs) are
popular with walkers and joggers. Or you can sit back and cheer on your favourite team at Swangard Stadium.
This century-old park features two ponds, home to geese and ducks, and the pretty Earl and Jennie Lohn Perennial
Garden. There's also the award-winning Variety Club Playground for children. This integrated play area provides fun and challenges for children of all ages and abilities.
Getting There: Follow either Kingsway of the Trans Canada Highway to Boundary Road. Turn south to reach the park. Central Park is also easily accessible by the SkyTrain at Patterson Station.

中央公園位於本拿比市中部，為都市叢林中難得的休閒去處，也是許多侯鳥過境或棲息的好地方。公園的池塘並不深，其池畔可說是草原濕地，這裡是吃水草與穀類，戲水鴨的天堂，如綠頭鴨(Mallard)、加拿大雁(Canada
Geese)、赤頸鴨(Wigeon)等。湖中生長著許多浮游生物，甲殼類與小魚，則是潛水鴨最佳的食物，如川秋沙鴨、一般金眼鴨(Goldeneye)、白帽鵲鴨(Bufflehead)、以及涉水獵食的大藍鷺(Great Blue Heron)的棲息處。
中央公園內有八點五公里寬敞的森林步道，你可以依自己的體力，分別沿著不同顏色的步道記號健行。其中有些步道設有各種不同有趣的健身設施。公園內大多為高聳的道格拉斯冷杉(Douglas Fir)森林，還有兩個可愛的
大水塘，有時你可以看見遙控帆船在水面游走。您可知道，1986年萬國博覽會期間，查理士王子與戴安娜王妃曾來此為殘障遊戲場開幕剪彩。
