Kinross Ravine Park is a little pocket of wilderness on a steep piece of land above the East Fraserlands. A switchback path winds down the slope, with a pleasant place to sit on a bench overlooking the Fraser River; a staircase also leads down into the ravine.


Riverfront Park
2750 E Kent Street S (@ Elliott Street)

Walking along the shore of the mighty Fraser River is a peaceful and restorative experience. Riverfront Park’s rose- and poplar-lined pathways are its biggest draw, but the park also offers picnic and play areas, all with breathtaking views.

Rosemont Park

Sparwood Park is home to both small wooded areas and open lawns. Stroll through the beautiful allée of hazelnut trees, or slip through one of the many curving paths and walkways that extend from Sparwood Park into the surrounding neighbourhoods.
