19. George McLean Park, Burnaby


We had a very Saturday, with a trip to the pool in the morning and a Whitecaps game in the afternoon.  It was perhaps a little too busy as we just took it easy on Sunday and stayed close to home.  We did take a little bit of a detour on our way to nana and grandad's though so that we could get a cache in a playground we haven't yet visited.  Of course we got the cache first - Arbor Harbor.  Co-ordinates seemed a bit off, but the name of the cache gives away its hiding spot and it was a pretty quick find.  After that, it was time for Charlotte to go and play!

It was a bit of a strange playground - not your typical one by any means.  Charlotte didn't think much to the giant saucer swing because she couldn't go very high in it, though it was kind of fun to have mum join her in it so we could both swing together.  The slide was just as strange - no steps up to it at all, but instead a slope that was steep at the front and more gradual at the back, perched atop a carpet of some bouncy, grippy substance that makes it possible to climb up the steep part like Spiderman.  Other than these two pieces of equipment, there was just a sandbox and a water feature for the summer.  All in all, we were a bit underwhelmed by this park!  It's located at N 49.14.099 W 123.00.887: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?hl=en&authuser=0&mid=z7IAXiVD2wGY.ke14vi-3MYtI&pli=1
