Renewal at City Park, Brydon Park, and Trail Network

One of the keys to supporting a happy and healthy community is a great parks system. As our community continues to grow with new townhouses and apartments, the parks system is becoming even more critical for people’s well-being. Langley City has been reinvesting significantly into our parks and trails in recent years.

City Park is currently undergoing a multi-phase renewal. This weekend, I took some pictures of the latest improvements to this park. The first set of pictures shows the new dog off-leash area which will be having its grand opening on October 21st.

The next set of pictures shows the new perimeter path and other walking paths that have been added to the now more formalized central part of City Park.

Langley City has an extensive trail network, but sometimes the trailheads can be hard to find. The parks department has been working on making these entrances more visible. The City is also rolling out garbage cans at all trailheads as this is something that has been requested by many people in the community.

Finally, Brydon Park is starting its multi-phase renewal. This will be another critical park for our community as it serves the new higher-density area along 198th Street. This first phase of construction for the renewal is expected to start this winter which includes a dog off-leash area and new nature walking trail.

Langley City is also working on the Nicomekl River District plan which will continue to support renewed investment into our community’s parks and trails.
