Romantic Walks and Love Locks at 1001 Steps Park
Right here in Surrey, we’ve found a spot that’s perfect for you, romantic couples wanting amazing views. 1001 Steps Park offers gorgeous ocean scenes and opportunities to watch playful harbour seals while you walk together. The parks become a local tradition for love locks, where you can attach padlocks to the railings to show your commitment, creating a lovely display of community love stories. What makes this place even better is that, despite the scary name, you can start at the top and get an easy walk down with beautiful scenery opening up in front of you.
Ocean Views and Wildlife

Love Lock Tradition
We’ve fallen in love with what couples have started at 1001 Steps Park—locking their promises to oceanside railings and creating Surrey’s sweetest tradition. What began as a few scattered locks has blossomed into something that puts our neighbourhood on the map as a proper romantic spot. Walking these paths, you’ll see hundreds of personal stories clipped to the metal, each one representing a couple’s bond.
You can spend ages reading the messages and dates, then find your perfect spot to add your own lock. It’s become the kind of date that feels both intimate and connected to our community. We love how this simple gesture has turned our local trail into a place where romance lives and grows, one lock at a time.
Cosmic Bowling and Craft Brews at Sandcastle Bowl
That neon glow hitting the pins while you’re sipping a locally-crafted IPA? That’s what makes our cosmic bowling nights special. Every Friday and Saturday, we transform into something magical with glow-in-the-dark lanes and pulsing beats that’ll have you laughing between strikes.

We appreciate how this Paint Your Own Pottery studio takes walk-ins during normal hours, which works brilliantly for last-minute date plans in Surrey. You’ll have two hours with colours and brushes, with paints, glaze, and kiln finishing all sorted for you. Whether you’re making holiday gifts or garden pieces, this creative date gives you proper time to chat, laugh, and make something special together.

Q&A
Where to Go for a Date in Surrey?
Surrey offers brilliant date spots that create real connections.
We’ve found some fantastic local spots for you! The Hive’s rock climbing gets you bonding instantly, while Sandcastle Bowl brings out your competitive spirit. Nature lovers will love the magic at 1001 Steps or Art Knapp’s mini-golf course.
How Do You Make a Date Night Special?
You make date nights special by stopping the pressure to be perfect.
The best dates happen when you both forget you’re trying to impress each other. We’ve found that shared activities work better than formal dinners – think cooking something new together, playing mini golf, or solving puzzles as a team.
Your local area probably has spots you’ve never tried. We often suggest that couples pick something slightly outside their comfort zone that requires teamwork. When you’re both figuring out pottery or laughing at your terrible bowling scores, the conversation flows naturally.
The magic isn’t in the location or how much you spend. It’s in doing something together that creates stories you’ll laugh about later.
How Do You Do a Lowkey Date?
A low-key date keeps things relaxed and genuine. We like heading out for bubble tea in Newton, strolling the peaceful paths at Bear Creek Park, or watching the sun set at Crescent Beach. Your neighbourhood’s tucked-away cafés and local markets work brilliantly for easygoing meetups that don’t feel forced.
