I intend to paint maple leaves on my face, go to the geohash around noonish, and decamp to a picnic area. Does anyone know of a nearby park with somewhat weather-resistant picnic facilities? None of Malkin, Memorial and Balaclava appears to have picnic tables, but Malkin looks the most picnic-friendly. I have tarps. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 16:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking of biking it. I have lots of transit-bike hashes, but the only one I biked to 100% was a no trespassing hash. It takes me 30 minutes to get downtown, and about 1:15 to get to UBC, so it should only be an hour's ride or so. I doubt more than an hour and a half. -- [[User:Rhonda|Rhonda]] 16:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I intend to paint maple leaves on my face, go to the geohash around noonish, and decamp to a picnic area. Does anyone know of a nearby park with somewhat weather-resistant picnic facilities? None of Malkin, Memorial and Balaclava appears to have picnic tables, but Malkin looks the most picnic-friendly. I have tarps. -Robyn 16:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

There are picnic tables (which, in theory, should be reserved) at Jericho beach. Not really close, but not extremely far either. --Wade
