Max Boundary Park

Boundary Park, Surrey

Boundary ParkThe lake at Boundary ParkToday was a glorious sunny spring day and so we piled Max into the car and took off for a new park to explore. We decided on Boundary Park, very close to the Delta Watershed, a park that is in the news lately for a rather depressing sign of the times. I’m not going to talk about that, but just focus on how beautiful this park is!

Max Boundary ParkWe approached it from the “wrong side,” in that we didn’t park at the main entrance, but entered the park from a side street. It is really quite spectacular with large redwoods towering over the many paths. One fallen tree was over twelve feet across! We had visited a park the other day that claimed to have the largest grove of redwoods, but this park surely comes a close second! Very very nice to wander around in this immense grove of trees.

Happy MaxThe park kind of meanders through a neighbourhood of large single family homes, and eventually you come a wonderful little lake. This lake is actually right by the main entrance to the park. It was full of ducks and geese and other waterfowl. Lots of people were wandering around the park, walking their dogs, pushing strollers with their wee gaffers; it was a delightful setting.

Max in Boundary ParkMax really enjoys chasing ducks for some reason, so we let him off his leash and let him charge all over. He’s so funny! He takes off at a gallop, steaming down to the water’s edge, and slams on the brakes! He simply won’t enter the water! Boundary Park LakeFor some reason, every time the ducks rushed away from the Charging Chow, other ducks made a beeline for him, as if to see what the fuss was all about. Or maybe they were coming over to laugh at this silly dog who won’t go in the water!

Goose Boundary ParkThis is another example of a city park that is very well done. Surrey is rightfully proud of it’s many urban parks, and Boundary Park is obviously a well-used, well-cared for park. Max simply loved it. And so did we!

  1. I enjoy this park. I first went to it from the wrong end too looking for the lake lol. Some nice paths. It is a nice walk. Surrey sure has some nice parks.

    Is that lone white ‘water fowl’ with the mallards a white duck or is it a goose? I am just curious. It has been in that lake for 2-3 years I have been walking there.

    1. I dunno, looks like a goose to me, but it could be a white mallard! It looks to be too big to be a duck, but hey, I really don’t know!
