For the past two years, Langley City has piloted allowing the consumption of alcoholic beverages in McBurney Plaza, select areas of Douglas Park, and most of the picnic shelters at City Park. This pilot ran during the summer month on Fridays and Saturdays.

The pilot program allowed people to enjoy beverages of their choice while having a meal, as many people enjoy picnics in our parks.
The City evaluated the feedback about and results of the pilot program. Based on that evaluation, Langley City Council gave first, second, and third readings to amend our Parks and Public Facilities Regulations Bylaw to allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages permanently during the summer and early fall.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages will be permitted every Thursday to Saturday from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm and every Sunday from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm from June 1st to October 31st at the following locations:
North Section of McBurney Plaza
Designated Area in Douglas Park

For people with a problematic relationship with alcohol, they will still be able to use the majority of Douglas Park and also the picnic shelter near the east parking lot at City Park.
