Minigolf por la ciudad de Surrey: 9 hoyos, par 29

Surrey consiste en una cuadrícula de calles y espacios verdes. El juego se desarrolla en las calles de la ciudad, y lugares emblemáticos como el Massey Theatre se utilizan para definir los hoyos. Skip conoce bien las aceras y los senderos cortos de esta zona. Una ronda de 9 hoyos cubre 5,8 km y utiliza 6 portales para conectar las ubicaciones.

Massey Theatre

Located in the heart of Surrey, this site is a performing arts building that brings a variety of creative energy to the neighborhood. I can show you around the Massey Theatre, which is a theatre building used for many different types of productions. Depending on the schedule, you might find it being used as an art gallery or as an event venue for local gatherings. It is a versatile spot for anyone interested in the arts, whether you are looking for a formal performance or a visual exhibit. I've noticed that the atmosphere changes completely depending on what is being hosted inside, making it a flexible space for the community to gather and enjoy different creative mediums together.

"Wait for Me Daddy" War Memorial Sculpture

Claude P. Dettloff is the man behind the image that defines this memorial. On October 1, 1940, he captured a scene of the British Columbia Regiment marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Street intersection in New Westminster, British Columbia. The resulting photograph, which inspired the memorial sculpture, shows a young boy named Warren "Whitey" Bernard breaking away from his mother to reach his father, Private Jack Bernard. This image became a powerful symbol of the era, appearing in magazines like Life and Time. It was also used in war-bond drives to support the effort. I've noticed that the sculpture captures that same frantic, loving energy of a child who just can't wait another second to be with his dad.

Irving House

When you arrive at the corner of Royal Avenue and Merivale Street, you will see Irving House. This historic building is a museum open to the public and remains in its original location. It is a heritage site in New Westminster, British Columbia, and is the oldest house in the Lower Mainland that is still completely intact. Construction on the house was started in 1859. I have noticed that the scale of the place is quite charming because the building is only one and a half storeys tall. Visitors can wander through the museum to see how the structure has survived over the years while staying exactly where it was first built. It is a wonderful spot to stop and appreciate the early architectural style of the region before moving on to your next hole.

Holy Trinity Cathedral

Holy Trinity Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral located in New Westminster, British Columbia. The parish was established in 1859, and it is the second-oldest parish in the Diocese of New Westminster by six months. Saint John's Maple Ridge is the oldest parish in the Diocese of New Westminster. Following the establishment of the parish, the inception of the cathedral took place in 1902, and the current building was completed in that same year. Today, the building is a cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster and is listed in a community heritage register. You can see the history of the area reflected in the presence of this site and its long-standing role within the local community.

The Columbia

Look closely at the facade of The Columbia to see why it holds a heritage designation. This movie theater is a centerpiece of the street, blending old-world charm with the cinematic experience. It first opened its doors in 1927, making it a long-standing fixture for the community. Whether you are here to bank your ball off the walls or just passing through, the building is a reminder of the city's early entertainment history. I usually keep an eye out for the crowds gathering for a show when I'm gliding overhead. It is a place where the history of the neighborhood and the magic of the screen meet in one spot.
