Mud Bay Park - Surrey

Notes from Mom

Activity:

Let me give you a word of advice, if you want to take your kids to Mud Bay Park, don't tell them it's called Mud Bay Park.  That has got to be one of the most unappealing names I have ever heard.  Mud Bay is part of Boundary Bay.  In fact, you can actually ride your bike along the Boundary Bay Regional Trail all the way from Mud Bay Park to Boundary Bay Regional Park.  The only problem is length-20 km is a fair trek for most kids (and adults).  Mud Bay only opened in 2002.  It is recognized as another great place in South Surrey to watch birds.  Like Blackie Spit, across the bay, Mud Bay has the right combination of tidal marsh and eelgrass beds to attract flocks of migratory birds such as Loons, Ducks, Cormorants, Northern Harriers, and Marsh Hawks.

Details:

Mud Bay is in South Surrey.  You can get there by driving south on 152nd Street, turning west on Colebrook Road, south on 127A Street, and then left on the park access road.  If you want to find out more information call (604) 501-5100 or visit www.city.surrey.bc.ca
