Webb Avenue Park, located along the trail just east of Vedder Road, is expected to serve a recent influx of residents in the area, including families now occupying a 67-unit affordable apartment complex.

“We know this area is becoming denser with the construction of more multi-family buildings,” Chilliwack mayor Ken Popove said in a statement.
