Exploring Burns Bog in North Delta

I have been wanting to do something new with the kids. Something that I have not done nor have the kids and the requirements for such an outing are fairly simple; the area needs to be within a short driving distance, the area could cater to the small legs of a 2 and a half year old but keep the interest of a 5 year old. I would also like an area that did not seem like it was part of the urban sprawl of our metropolitan area. This is where North Delta comes to mind, in particular Burns Bog.

That classic refrain of “I’m bored!” can start by 9am some mornings, and although we’re all down for a bit of TV, they can’t spend the summer glued to a screen. So what to do? Luckily there are a ton of free activities and destinations in Surrey. Here’s a “Top Ten” of things to do that are both fun and FREE!
