Hello from Comfort Inn Surrey! As the vibrant energy of spring blossoms all around us, allow yourself to discover a serene natural haven just a stone's throw from our hotel: GREEN TIMBERS URBAN FOREST PARK. This expansive 452-acre park offers a peaceful retreat with accessible trails, a picturesque lake, and the soothing embrace of nature – perfect for a refreshing escape during your May visit to Surrey.

Known locally as “Surrey's Green Heart,” Green Timbers is a mature second-growth forest that provides a vital green lung for our city. Its relatively flat and well-maintained network of approximately 10 kilometres of trails makes it ideal for LEISURELY WALKS, invigorating jogs, and enjoyable strolls for families with strollers or guests using wheelchairs. May is a particularly delightful time to explore as the forest canopy fills out, birdsong fills the air, and the park comes alive with the fresh vibrancy of spring.

Unwind and Explore at Green Timbers:

• Accessible and Scenic Trails: Wander along the gentle, mostly gravel trails that meander through towering Douglas firs, western red cedars, and lush undergrowth. THE LAKE TRAIL offers a particularly picturesque loop around the park's central lake.
• Green Timbers Lake: The tranquil lake is a focal point of the park, reflecting the surrounding greenery and providing habitat for various waterfowl. It's a perfect spot for quiet contemplation and enjoying the peaceful ambiance.
• Wildlife Viewing: Keep your eyes peeled for the diverse birdlife that frequents the park, including woodpeckers, chickadees, and various songbirds. You might also spot squirrels, chipmunks, and other small mammals.
• Picnic Perfect: Several designated PICNIC TABLES are nestled throughout the park, offering lovely spots to enjoy a meal surrounded by nature's beauty. Pack a picnic basket and make it a relaxing afternoon outing.
• Green Timbers Nature Centre: Located within the park, the Nature Centre often hosts EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS and provides information about the park's ecology and history. Check the City of Surrey's website for their May 2025 operating hours and any scheduled events.

We invite you to experience the rejuvenating tranquility of Surrey's Green Heart and take advantage of nature's restorative powers during your stay. Enhance your visit with a peaceful exploration of Green Timbers Urban Forest Park and book your accommodation with us at Comfort Inn Surrey to enjoy a comfortable stay and easy access to this natural sanctuary.
