Location & How to find us:
Inside Central Park at the South Picnic Area, beside the Lower Pond near Imperial Street.
See: Google map pin (https://maps.app.goo.gl/UPHgPDsgCcxfN1zy6)

The South Picnic Area is inside Burnaby Central Park, beside the Lower Pond, west of the Pitch & Putt Golf course entrance building, north of Imperial Street, and beside the Imperial Street parking lot. We may be located in between trees so make sure you walk around the entire pond area and look for our Meetup sign. Arrive early to find the picnic spot. Call John if you are clearly lost.

If driving, there's limited parking near the Imperial Street parking lot or in the residential area south of Imperial Street. If taking transit, it is a 15 minute walk from Patterson Skytrain Station.

Recommendation for visitors/new-immigrants/tourists:
Feel free to explore Central Park! There are beautiful walking trails, ponds, and events at Swangard Stadium. For sports there is a full 18-hole pitch & putt golf course, tennis courts, swimming pool, and baseball field. Take an adventure through the park in the afternoon!
