- Ed NDelta, Canada1,856 contributionsWe had a family outing to this park on a hot Saturday. Having lived in the Surrey area for a while, I did not know about this park. Boy, I have been missing out. The story behind this park and all the different trees made for a great experience. I especially loved the big redwood trees featured in this park -they are massive!!! A great picnic spot (also a good place to have an outdoor wedding).Written 18 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hari ADelta, Canada683 contributionsFeel like a walk by the Pacific Ocean? Try Crescent Beach in South Surrey next to White Rock. Once you find a parking spot, you will enjoy your relaxing walk by the water and admire some homes that back on to the walkway.Written 17 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hari ADelta, Canada683 contributionsThis is one of the major border crossings between British Columbia & Washington State. The gates are always open and the park on both sides is beautifully manicured and maintained.Written 17 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trip785928Los Angeles, CA4 contributionsI'm visiting from the U.S. and, during my stay, I've driven past Green Timbers several times and wondered what it looked like inside this huge forest-like park. This morning, I had an opening in my schedule, so I parked just inside the entrance on 100th. Parking was plentiful and free. There is a trail map posted at the park's entrance. To orient myself, I walked an easy trail (<1 mile) around the lake and enjoyed some breathtaking views. I returned to my car, took off my winter coat, stretched, and then re-entered the park to run the first part of the trail, then continued south to 96th. After running eastward on 96th, I discovered a winding, narrow trail that led back into the park and found my way back to the lake and, eventually, the parking lot. How lucky Surrey residents are to have this beautiful oasis nearby!Written 24 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- maureen f2 contributionsBeen going here for years and never disappointed. Good for kids and dogs. No need for any security or policing, everyone is considerate of everyone else.Written 20 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoBAncaster, Canada1,516 contributionsLovely park with hard packed trails meandering through woods, along creeks with fish (salmon will spawn in November), and through meadows. Includes places to enjoy breaks on benches or enjoying a picnic on solid picnic tables.Written 17 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jenna lVancouver, Canada211 contributionsPopped by one day and were able to tour the house and grounds. I hope one day to enjoy a tea time with their baked goodies I’ve heard about if they offer this again one day.Written 2 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OnAnotherJourneyCanada294 contributionsVisually attractive and doesn’t impede the surrounding views. When we travelled through on a Friday afternoon we were kind of surprised that the traffic flowed well.Written 23 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kim HyggenEdmonton, Canada4 contributionsSo much fun and the animals are so sweet. I love Hagrid the Bunny and the Silkie rooster.

- BrotherYoSurrey, Canada249 contributionsHave now been in this area 3 times (cold season only so far) and each time I discover more. They have good overall shopping places and lots of good restaurants that will definitely meet your price and taste range. Once summer comes, I am looking forward to walk around once warm weather comes by.Written 21 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephen Y3 contributionsWow, what a wonderful place to visit. Super friendly volunteers, a nice trip into history, very interesting shop tour, and a well stocked gift shop to finish off. I will be back!Written 28 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ed HCloverdale, British Columbia, Canada19 contributionsThere is additional parking that enters from the road behind the center that most people dont know about.

Well, Barnston Island is not one of those picture perfect scenic islands that one might wish for. It is an islet on the Fraser river and you have a Ferry to ferry you across. That is pretty much it!
The Good:
-It is interesting to know there is an islet and the ferry ride adds an experience
-The islet has a 8-10 km circumference and so the trail around it is adventurous
-There are farms on the way with farm animals (goats, donkeys, horses) ... a definite excitement for kids
The Bad:
- The ferry is small and can accommodate only 5 cars max. The staff were a little rude and non-cooperative. Very rare in Canada.
- WARNING : The residents of the island are "touchy" as mentioned by one of the residents. They do not prefer tourists and so are not very welcoming if you stare at the farm animals or try to pet them. Make sure you only bike/walk/drive around and leave the place. No resting on the lawns etc. I understand their plight, since there have been instances of tourists barging in, camping, barbecuing etc on their properties. I think they have the right to get upset. So be WARNED.Written 3 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They even try to upsell the prawns for an extra $15.00
Salad bar, desserts and soups still ok.
Our customer food coupon quantity card has also been discontinued.
Selection just not up to old standard.Written 28 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The walkways are very well established, even people with walkers would be comfortable. The washrooms seem quite new and clean.
The dyke bike path is awesome, well surfaced, and wide. If I had a gripe it would be that there aren't enough benches to give a nice place to stop, relax, and enjoy the environment.
The parking lot is well established but doesn't really provide space for all the adventurers in the growing population.
Overall I'd give it a 10 out of ten for experience, and an 8.5 out of ten all around!Written 5 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
