Pancake flat Richmond is on the delta of the Fraser River.  The land is flat, offering views of the North Shore mountains from pretty much anywhere.   Richmond is a bicyclist’s dream because there are NO HILLS!   Richmond is protected from flooding by dykes, and these dykes offer miles of linear greenways for bicycling or jogging.

• Iona Beach Regional Park is a spit of land that extends nearly 4 km out to sea.  Nestled between Lulu Island, home of Vancouver International airport, and Vancouver West, it is a delightful spot to take your dogs for a nice long walk.  Aviation buffs will enjoy the continuous stream of airliners flying by, low overhead!
• Terra Nova South Park is located at the north-western corner of Richmond.   The park offers lagoons topped by walkways, an elaborate play structure and is adjacent to a golf course.   Dyke trails connect Terra Nova to Garry Point and Steveston.
• Garry Point Park is located at the south-western corner of Richmond, adjacent to Steveston Village.   This popular park offers walking trails and is a haven for wind sports – kite flying and kite powered carts.   Spring brings a terrific display of cherry blossoms.    Fish and chip outlets abound, both at Garry Point and in adjacent Steveston.
• South Dyke Trail runs along the Fraser River, passing by historic buildings dating back to the earliest fishing settlements in Richmond.   These well preserved museums are photogenic and well worth a visit!
