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.
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.
No history is available for this feature.
