Today was a lovely spring day, bright and sunny but a tad brisk. So we loaded up old Maxie and hit the trail. Tannery Road terminates at the waterfront, directly across the river from New Westminster Quay.

The location is in a rather industrial area, and we had to dodge lots of big double pup dump trucks. The park itself has a couple of open fields, and some trails leading to the water.

The trails lead off to the river’s edge to one side, with large sand dunes on the other side. The dunes are extremely high, and there are several paths leading up to the peaks. Max and I took a charge up and were quite surprised to see there is a HUGE hole on the other side. Trucks were moving in and out, so clearly the sand is being mined for local construction projects.

Coming down, Max just beat it down the hill! Pretty funny! The water’s edge is affected by the tides, so it’s quite muddy, so Max wasn’t too interested in going in, thankfully!

There were not many dogs there, I think because it was too early in the day. It’s a nice enough park, but I think it’s really only for locals. It’s not worth the drive really. I mean I liked it, it’s just that there wasn’t enough to interest me. The view was nice over the river though, so it was worthwhile to come have a look.
