“Creating new parks, adding new park amenities and expanding outdoor recreational opportunities for Abbotsford families is a key priority for City Council, and we’re very excited about this new community park,” said Abbotsford Mayor Ross Siemens. “Cooper Hill Park provides access to scenic views and nature and we’re very grateful to Polygon for creating such a special community space for residents to enjoy.”

“Cooper Hill Park is a meaningful addition to Cooper Meadows and to the surrounding neighbourhood,” said Neil Chrystal, President and CEO of Polygon Homes. “From the beginning, Polygon’s vision for this community has been to honour the natural beauty of the site while creating places where families can connect, explore and feel at home. We’re proud to work with the City of Abbotsford to help bring this park to life and to recognize the Cooper family’s longstanding connection to this land.”

The public opening celebration and ribbon cutting for Cooper Hill Park will happen Wednesday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The public is welcome to participate in the activities, which consist of activities like The Brownie Bakers food truck, a StoryWalk along the trail, a scavenger hunt throughout the park, complimentary giveaways, mini golf, Go Play Outside lawn games and more. 

Cooper Hill Park is the latest addition to a series of new parks and green space enhancements across the city, including the new Gilmour Park, Engineer Park, and the Crossley Park splash pad. The city says these projects reflect the municipality’s ongoing commitment to expanding outdoor recreation and family-friendly spaces and advancing park amenities while fulfilling council’s 2022–2026 Strategic Plan priority of fostering a healthy and active community.
