Burnaby Cental Park 本拿比中央公园

Burnaby Central Park是Kingsway上Burnaby的入口标志，这个城市森林公园虽然不是很大，却很容易让你摆脱城市的喧嚣，让身体和心灵得到休息。

　　这个1891年即成立的公园以道格拉斯杉树、hemlock等树形成的浓密树林为主，中间有很多散步路线和自行车线路，有意思的是有些路线旁边还有一些体育器械，让你可以充分锻炼。公园的两个小池塘是野雁和野鸭的乐园，仔细分辨，你还可以看出鸭子有不同的种类。靠近49街的那个池塘旁边有个船模俱乐部，天气好的时候，便有会员在池塘里玩船模，吸引了不少人驻足观看。

　　公园有不少体育设施，包括一个体育馆（Swangard Stadium），游泳馆，东南方的高尔夫球场以及东北方的球场。另外还有一个儿童的游乐场、Jennie Lohn Perennial Garden、一个马掌俱乐部以及已经废弃的Central Park Tramline。是附近居民日常锻炼和休闲的好去处。

Central Park is a 90-hectare (220-acre) urban park in Burnaby, British Columbia, founded in 1891.

The park is on the Vancouver–Burnaby border, just west of the Metropolis at Metrotown shopping complex, and is bounded by Boundary Road on the west, Kingsway on the north, Patterson and Willingdon Avenues on the east, and Imperial Road on the south. The nearest SkyTrain station, Patterson station, named for Burnaby pioneer Dugald Campbell Patterson, is at the park’s northeast corner. The main entrance to Central Park is off Kingsway near Patterson Avenue.

Central Park was once a naval reserve set aside as a source of masts and spars for ships of the Royal Navy. The park was named to honour Mrs. David Oppenheimer, the wife of Vancouver’s second mayor, who was born in New York City.

Central Park’s primary attraction is the large proportion of its land reserved as a well-preserved temperate rainforest ecosystem, with numerous walking trails. Among its other attractions are the award-winning children’s playground,[citation needed] pitch and putt golf, an outdoor swimming facility, a lawn bowling facility, several picnic areas, tennis courts, and a couple of small duck ponds. Wildlife in the park includes grey squirrels and coyotes.
