Last Weekend of Summer - Vancouver City Spotlight

The last week of summer vacation: The best summer had to offer!
I always hate to see the end of summer. With me, even though it is not officially over yet, when school starts it signals an end to the outdoor activities I love to participate in. For most of us in the Vancouver area, that last day is Labor Day. With one week of freedom left now is the time to go over all of the posts at Vancouver.onethousandthingstodo.com and pick out one or two that really piqued your curiosity. Then go have some fun!
For some of you that might be a day trip to the beach, for others a family outing at a park, for still others a chance to see some of Vancouver’s early history while the sun is still shining.
I have been trying to stick close to home this summer and have visited many of the local parks. My personal favorite comes as a surprise even to me and it was not so much because the memory of that day is warm and pleasant, and the park is local and free; but that Camas Heritage Park offers so much variety: boating, skiing, swimming, picnicking and hiking while amenities include restrooms, parking, a playground, benches and picnic tables. You cannot ask for more in a favorite spot.
