North Yards Neighbourhood Park Design 

The District of Squamish is developing a neighbourhood park at the end of No Name Road in Squamish. A park design consultant will develop this park based on input from neighbourhood residents. An arborist and environmental consultant will also review and provide recommendations related to the natural character of the site.  


We are seeking neighbourhood input.


We are looking for neighbourhood input to inform the park design. Early ideas are to: 

  • Keep the natural character of the site 

  • Incorporate play features for children ages 0-12 

  • Provide seating opportunities 

  • Enhance access through the site to the dike 

  • Keep existing trees, paths and pump track 


Budget – The park will be fully funded by Community Amenity Contributions (CACs), which is cash that property developers provide to help meet community needs. The park construction budget is $340,000. 


Existing Site and Potential Opportunities - The park design consultant has explored the existing site elements and potential opportunities. This includes site survey, trees arborist report, solar study, slope study of path to dike, and some potential ideas. Please see 13-page document on the right sidebar under ‘Documents’ titled ‘North Yards Neighbourhood Park Report’.

Next Steps

1. We want to know how you currently use the space, and what you wish for the space in the future.  

2. We will then use the community input, along with the information from the arborist and biologist, to develop concept ideas for the park space.  

3. The concept idea(s) will then be presented to the North Yards neighbourhood for feedback in an online and in-person format, before proceeding to detailed design of the space.
