SURREY NATURE CENTRE

Nestled within GreenTimbers Park, the Surrey Nature Centre is a place for kids and adults to explore nature. There are lots of fun things to do here. Borrow an activity backpack from Reception and take it along as you adventure beneath the changing leaves of the forest or rent a fishing rod and try your luck fishing on cool, crisp fall mornings. Don't forget to visit the indoor interpretive space where we highlight some of the season's best flora and fauna.

Surrey has many off-leash areas for you and your pooch to enjoy! All off-leash areas are fully fenced except for Freedom, Tannery and Dogwood Park.
