Fav Places to Train #2

*Oops!  This post was supposed to be up yesterday but I didn't set the date properly...  Sorry guys!*

Today I'm taking you to a great park that is filled with a TON of great outdoor activities.  It is located smack dab in the middle of White Rock and is called Centennial Park. 

There so much to do here.  The tennis courts here are very popular.  I find them intimidating but if you've got some skills and a partner, then come out and challenge a duo to a game. :) 

Tennis barely skims the surface of what you can do at this park though.  Anywhere from lawn bowling to a playground to soccer fields and baseball diamonds, you can spend a full afternoon here with a healthy picnic lunch and have fun while being active!

I often bring my dog Kuma here to hike through the trails.  You can make it all the way from 16th Avenue to the beach if you take the right path, and of course there's hills and staircases along the way.  Here's a map of the trails.  Just remember that the part of the beach you'll end up at is NOT dog-friendly.  If you walk along the shops on Marine Drive you can bring your pooch over to East Beach and let your four-legged friend splash in the waves.  It usually takes me about an hour to make it down to the beach and back (including a short stop to enjoy the view).

Just remember, exercising doesn't have to be about going into a gym and spending hours there pumping iron or mundanely running on a treadmill.  Including your family, pets and friends will make being active a much easier thing to include into your daily life!

Be sure to check back next week for more outdoor fun in White Rock!
