Barnet Marine Park - Burnaby

notes from Dad

Activity:

When we used to live in Burnaby, Barnet Marine Park was one of favourite places to visit, ...it still is but we don't seem to get there as often.  At Barnet Beach, Burnaby's only official salt-water beach, there's a network of trails, nice views up Indian Arm and across the inlet to Deep Cove, and Cates Park.  There's a dock for fishing, studying the freighters or watching the ever present parade of power boaters.
