City of Abbotsford seeks input on new neighbourhood park

ABBOTSFORD – The City of Abbotsford says it’s looking for input from local residents as it plans to develop a new neighbourhood park on a 2.6-hectare plot of land in the McKee neighbourhood of Abbotsford.

According to a statement from the municipality, the new neighbourhood park will be located near the intersection of Dawson Road and Sumas Mountain Road, at 36676 Dianne Brook Ave.

The park consists of approximately 2.6 hectares of land within a quiet single-family neighbourhood. The park will feature a large forested natural open space complemented by a smaller cleared area for park amenities and programming. Residents’ creativity will be solicited in order to unlock the full potential of this new neighbourhood amenity.

At the northwest corner of the site, along Dianne Brook Ave, a smaller flat area will serve as the park’s main entrance and hub for amenities. This space is envisioned as a welcoming gateway, offering access to the natural areas to the south while also providing a place for gathering and connection.
