51. Westminster Pier Park, New Westminster

This park is still pretty new - in fact, it's younger than Charlotte! It was opened just a couple of months after she was born and it's a very popular place already. It has won quite a few design awards and is built half on land and half over the water with the help of 3600 pilings. There are lots of things to see that are of interest to a two-year-old; the Skytrain bridge is just to the east and tugboats are constantly making their way up and down the river. A paddlewheeler went by as we walked to the playground - I think Charlotte might like a ride on one when she's a bit older! Or maybe not even so very much older... There are no geocaches in the park because there is a series of older caches just outside it.  Charlotte had a nice time playing, then we had a picnic supper before she played in the sandbox for a while. When it got cold, we headed back to the bus stop and rode the bus back up the hill. The playground is located at N 49.12.165 W122.54.389 and is point 51 on the map at the bottom of home page.
