Vancouver's Ridgeway Greenway is a linear exploration of a string of parks, walkways and seating areas, and amazing public art.
Start at the Patterson Skytrain station at Central Park in Burnaby and explore a few of the trails in the park. You could spend alot of time in this park, just meandering at 10km per hour (of course) and seeing the ducks.
Today was Art Exploration Day. With the book Public Art in Vancouver by John Steil and Aileen Stalker, I set out to discover Vancouver's Public Art. This book is a great resource, full of information of each of the pieces. Another great site: Vancouver Public Art website.
At the north west corner of the park there is a small plaza near the overpass with a few pieces of art, then head south along the Terry Fox path to the start of the Ridgeway Greenway at 45th Street.
