Explore this 20km loop of Surrey Parks and greenways: Green Timbers Park, Bear Creek, Surrey Lake and Fleetwood Park. The route follows greenways and quiet streets and meanders through parts of Surrey you might never have seen before! Most of the parks have trails that are super for easy cycling for the kids and you may want to ride longer and explore each of the parks. The route is accessible from King George Skytrain station. Thanks to Tim Yzerman – HUB Surrey for sending this route and link to the tracks on Ride with GPS. Tim says, “I ride this route quite often to go to and from the Fleetwood area and there is beautiful scenery. The ride follows mostly side streets and trails. The route between Newton and Surrey Lake Park can be a little confusing for those who do not know the area.”
Here’s a link to Tim’s route on Ride With GPS – it’s fun to follow these tracks as the route takes lots of twists and turns.
