A Walk Through The Park: Central Park Vancouver

Today Vancouver's been blessed with great autumn weather, after suffering torrential downpours over the weekend. This prompted me to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

I decided to take a walk through my local park, Central Park. While Central Park in Vancouver doesn't nearly compare to Central Park in New York, this park is still an amazing place to enjoy a walk on a crisp autumn's day. 

Central Park was originally a military reserve for the defense of New Westminster. In 1891, the area was established as a public park, and now, the cities of Vancouver and Burnaby have agreed to maintain the park.

Central Park has plenty to please its visitors. The focal point of the park is the large duck pond where you'll see many mallards. There are benches around the pond where you can simply sit and admire the scenery on a day like today. There are also great trails for walking, running or cycling. In the summer, there's an outdoor swimming pool. On Wednesdays, you can pitch horseshoes at the horseshoe park. 

Here's my trip through Central Park in Vancouver.
