The 13th Annual Ferret Summer Picnic!
Note: Our annual summer picnic is

August)

(directions below)
Past ferret picnics have been a great success so be sure
to mark your calendar and plan to attend. It's a great way for ferrets
owners to meet each other, for ferrets to meet other ferrets, and for
everyone to have a whole lot of fun in the process! So bring your
ferrets, bring a snack, and bring your camera.
Be sure to visit our Photo
section if you'd like to see the kind of fun we have at our picnics!
Directions:
The picnic will be held in one of the grassy field areas
near the pool in Central Park in Burnaby. Central park is just a few
minutes away (by car) from the well known Metrotown Shopping Centre.
by car:
From the intersection of Kingsway and Boundary, proceed
South along Boundary (past the Stadium) and along the edge of the Park.
When you see the sign for the pool area, pull in! We will have signs at
the end of this parking lot to direct you to the picnic grounds. Please
see the map below for general location information.
by Skytrain:
Yes, if your only transporation option is public transit
you can still attend this event! Take the Skytrain to Patterson station
(both the Millenium and Expo skytrain lines include this station). The
station is at the corner of Kingsway and Patterson streets. The easiest
way to find your way through the park is to walk down Patterson, along
the edge of the park, until you come to a group of tennis courts on
your right. When you come to the very first tennis court, turn right,
and walk along the edge of the tennis courts. As you walk by the tennis
courts, now on your left, stay on the trail as it leads into the woods.
Soon you will come to a dirt road. Follow the road until you reach the
clearing and arrive at the lake and pool area. You will first notice
the lake, to your left. We will be in one of the grassy areas just
beyond the lake. Keep your eyes peeled for ferrets! Please see the map
below for general location information.
