Pro Tips

  1. 1.Pack a picnic blanket and snacks to enjoy on the grassy areas, as there are no food vendors on-site and this is a residential neighborhood park.
  2. 2.Bring your own sports equipment like soccer balls, frisbees, or basketballs to maximize the open space and court facilities.
  3. 3.Visit on weekday mornings for the quietest experience, as evenings and weekends tend to be busier with local families.
  4. 4.Street parking is available along Bonson Road, but arrive early on sunny weekend days when the park is most popular.
  5. 5.Bring hand sanitizer and wipes, as this is a neighborhood park and facilities may be more basic than larger regional parks.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings or early afternoons offer the most space and quieter play. Visit during late spring through early fall (May to September) for the best weather, though the park is accessible year-round. Avoid weekend afternoons if you prefer less crowded play areas.

What to Know

This park is completely free with no admission fees. Street parking is available nearby. There are no on-site food vendors or washroom facilities, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Seasonal Notes

The park is open year-round, but the best weather for outdoor play is from May through September. British Columbia's rainy season (October to March) can make the playground wet, so check weather forecasts and dress kids accordingly. Winter visits are still possible on clear days, though temperatures will be cooler.

Nearby Eats

Head to nearby Pitt Meadows Town Centre (about 5 minutes by car) for family-friendly chain restaurants and cafes, or pack your own picnic to enjoy on the park's grassy areas for a more budget-friendly option.
