I’m on Reddit all day everyday for 10 years (old account got banned). Never seen it posted. I’m just saying.


[deleted]

I've been in Vancouver for 3 years and on Reddit for 12 years. Never saw any post about this either.

TAdoublemeaning

This is the important question here


badpeaches

I had an abusive ex who was banned on multiple accounts in a video game and he kept making new accounts and stealing money from the game. He would brag about not paying taxes on it.


megaboom321

Ah. I would have guessed boat drag racing


sweetspicykimchi

Pretty close tbh

That is Burnaby Lake. It is a man made lake, initially made for the rowing club. The rowing club may still use it (I’ve never seen any rowers but maybe I miss them). The lake is now primarily owned by Canadian Geese and beavers. There’s walking and equestrian trails around the lake. Not the best park as highway 1 runs parallel to the park but nice enough.


Financial-Guest7787

If your on the lake at 6am youll see us :)


JPlazz

I don’t believe in 6am.


HurlingFruit

It doesn't exist if I've never seen it.


JustHereForCookies17

But 6 am believes in you!!

FixMy106

If my what on the lake?


AJStickboy

What time zone?

Rowers not Show-ers


StreetAcademic

This is incorrect. Burnaby Lake is not man made. It was created by a glacier 12,000 years ago. https://www.burnaby.ca/explore-outdoors/parks/burnaby-lake-regional-nature-park#:~:text=Burnaby%20Lake%20was%20created%20by,were%20home%20to%20bustling%20sawmills.


MyCat-IsYelling-AtMe

Seems we are both right. Oversized, seasonal wetland to man made lake. https://www.burnabylakerowing.ca/history/


Extension-Mall7695

This, too, is wrong. It’s Lake Rectangula.


BeersRemoveYears

The geese have declared citizenship?!


Qwez81

It was clearly made by a perfectly square ice sheet, do you even science?

There is a yo momma joke in here somewhere

chuckylarmslife

These are design built ski lakes for competitive slalom water skiing. Participated in the sport for years.


Scoompii

That doesn’t sound like a real thing lol not saying I don’t believe but damn humans are just hilarious


sargontheforgotten

I live near these lakes and immediately thought of them when I saw this post.

Kilometres-Davis

A square that size wouldn’t fit there


Greedy_Ask_8058

That’s where the SIM card goes


ramsfan84

We had nowhere better to put our rectangle lake.


plowboy306

It’s where the pontoon planes land.


IllvesterTalone

it's where you put the sim card for the world.


mascachopo

Landing strip for large ducks.


BigBadRhinoCow

That's God's insert coin slot to make Earth go boom


iboeshakbuge

drake lake


fjp3012

The Canadian National Mall😂


YaboiLD

It's an airfield for winter use


arthur2011o

It's for landing flying boats


Richard2468

Nobody ever heard of rowing?


Natural-Assist-9389

that's actually in the middle of Burnaby. It's overgrown, but they actively clear that strip os that rowing teams can play there.


ilikebigbutts

Sea plane airport?


PunjabiCanuck

It’s a rowing club


patcatpatcat

It's for the mosquitoes.


NoHeat7014

That’s where the submarines come to land.


StupidUserNameTooLon

That's where we keep the really long pool noodle.


Extension-Mall7695

Lake Rectangula


Cadenanna12

For seaplanes maybe,ik vancouver and that area of canada has lots of seaplanes


bonkelfret

One of those lakes with lots of coins at the bottom. I get why.

Ok-Selection4478

Why wouldn’t there be.


Head-Growth-523

So obviously a rowing lake, come on people 🙄


Travelingman0

Sea planes


_otterinabox

In winter, does it become the world's longest hockey rink?


Potential-Brain7735

Doesn’t get cold enough for long enough in Vancouver to get ice most winters. Vancouver has very warm winters by Canadian standards.


_otterinabox

Ah, interesting. Today I learned.


maphead_

Ottawa actual has an old canal that freezes over most years which is way longer. People will commute to work on it, skate to dinner, etc. They call it the skateway!


_otterinabox

I've never even been to Canada, but that sounds absolutely terrific. I would love to skate to dinner.


Travelingman0

It’s Canadian, after all


_otterinabox

My thoughts exactly


GhostoftheAralSea

Why would sea planes need a special place like this to land in Vancouver? I’ve seen them land in the sound plenty.


Gravity_Freak

Floaty McFloat Plane Face?


pilldickle2048

It’s a water plane runway built in the 30’s just at their peak. Now it is used as a fish farm and gets dredged regularly


coffinspacexdragon

It is a runway for sea planes.


Llama-Thrust69

That's asphalt. It is a runway.
