SURREY PHOTO QUIZ ANSWERS

1. Boundary Park pond: Walkers and joggers love the 500-metre concrete path that loops around the pond of this neighbourhood park, at 6058 Boundary Drive West, near the Surrey-Delta border. Ducks and other water fowl also love the pond, naturally.

2. Brock’s Rock at East Beach: This engraved rock rests in memory of Brock Shannon, 15, killed in 2007 while trying to stop his family’s car from rolling down their sloped driveway, according to a post on waymarking.com. “As well as Brock’s Rock, there is a scholarship in his memory at the high school he attended. There is also a backpack and a pair of flip-flops.”

3. Central City tower on 102 Avenue: A Surrey landmark designed by renowned architect Bing Thom, the 25-storey building was completed in 2003. Look for the tower in movies and shows including Fantastic Four, Smallville (as LuthorCorp headquarters) and I, Robot.

4. Lance Corporal Arthur Thomas Fleetwood statue: Nathan Scott’s life-sized bronze sculpture, installed in 2008, honours a Second World War soldier after whom Fleetwood town centre is named. People can take a seat next to Mr. Fleetwood, who has a newspaper on his lap and duffle bag at his feet, on the Fleetwood Community Centre plaza, 84 Avenue at 160 Street.

5. Surrey’s Heritage Rail car 1307: The BCER 1304, also known as Connaught Car, once rolled on the Fraser Valley interurban route and has been a popular attraction at Cloverdale’s heritage rail station since 2017. Amazingly, fire all but destroyed the car in 1945 near Cloverdale while it made its way west from Chilliwack.

6. Museum of Surrey: A curved wall of the atrium stairway showcases a “mural mosaic,” a photograph of the Nicomekl River created with thousands of unique photos of people at places around Surrey over the years. Consisting of 43,800 images, the mural includes 2,461 duplicated photographs acquired from several sources. Printed on vinyl and applied in giant strips, the photo of the Nicomekl was taken near Blackie Spit.

7. Peace Arch monument: Dedicated in 1921 as the first such structure in the world, the 20-metre-tall monument stands at South Surrey’s Peace Arch Park, straddling the Canada-United States border. The exterior frieze facing the U.S. reads: “Children of a Common Mother,” while the frieze facing Canada reads “Brethren Dwelling Together in Unity”.

8. Redwood Park: Home to a large forest of exotic trees, this South Surrey park (17900 20 Ave.) also boasts a replica treehouse that once belonged to Peter and David Brown, twin brothers. In 1893, their father gifted them a large plot of land for farming, but the siblings instead filled the space with their favourite trees from all around the world. The eccentric duo built a treehouse where they lived in solitude until their deaths in the years after the Second World War.

9. SFU on University Drive campus: A five-storey building designed to look like a computer circuit board, this Simon Fraser University campus is for teaching and research in mechatronics, sustainable energy engineering and more, at 10285 University Dr., Surrey.

10. Surrey Civic Plaza: Many festivals, concerts and outdoor events are held on the plaza outside Surrey City Hall (13450 104 Ave.), where the staircase has been painted with different nature scenes over the years. Until July 19, the plaza is home to the main Surrey Soccer Fan Zone during FIFA World Cup soccer action.
