Reviews of Heywood Park (Park)

Michael Burton

My daughter (8) loves this playground, unique play features, as well as a zipline and play structures. Also a really large sandbox. There is also space for setting up a picnic and washroom facilities, so you can plan to take your time here.

Good Park for kids with play area, for trekking around mountain cliff and mesmerizing ocean view.

Mahshid Ghodusi

It's a fun park with small Zipline, climbing play structure, and a trail to explore with kids

Antony Rutter

Great spot to cool down in the summer, paddling in the creek

Yasmina Catargiu

Natural water park, bring your buckets and water toys. Really great for little kids and clean washrooms. For the older kids bring their science kits to explore the woods and the creek while eating the berries they find on the trails.... nice clean washrooms, not too much space for biking although good enough for the little ones.

Great Park, newly enhanced with some eco-friendly alternatives for storm drain run off. Also the site of the MacKay Creek hatchery which has become a keystone piece of the community bringing so many people together for the annual salmon fry releases.

(Translated) Are you looking for sandpit, stream, playgrounds, lots of space to explore? Here is the right place and the best thing is that it is super easy to get there. (Original) Buscas arenero, arroyo, juegos infantiles, mucho espacio para explorar? Aquí es el lugar indicado y lo mejor es que es súper fácil llegar.

Great little park. With zipline. Kids playing in the stream.

Ashli Swann

This park is our new go to. Great that there is a shallow stream for the kids to cool off in- and us to wear our flip flops in. Can anyone tell me where the skate park is though?

Rebecca M

Quiet when we went for a picnic, has a nice open space for dogs.

I like parks

Pamela Westerman

Excellent park featuring a kid-friendly zip line. But there's so much more: trails, flields, play sand, swings, climbing structures, stream, berry bushes, flush toilets, hatchery, picnic tables, free parking, and wheelchair accessible. A gem of a park.

Benny Kwok

Nice short hike within the city.

Bruce Arnold

They keep changing the zip line so you never know how fun it will be for the kids but it’s nice to take a cool walk in the woods near the creek.

River Waterworth

You know, it's a park.

Mas Hadi Ekaputra

Amazing park

Nasrin Moradinik

The park has zipline for kids which is my daughter's favorite. Also other play grounds are lovely as well as the space for a short picnic

R. Bray

Perfect trail for easy dog walking. Not good for small kids, strollers or people who have balance issues as there are a few places with very (very) steep drop off and no guard rail in place. Every time you turn a corner you get a completely different landscape, it’s gorgepus. Creek access is decent all along. Not very deep though so not a lot of swimming. Mainly cooling off and wading :) They need one or two more dog poop garbage bins somewhere along the trail though because they’re way too far and few between.

Watch out with the zipline!! It can take you by surprise! Parking, green , playground and washrooms. Perfect for a picnic day.

Really enjoyable park. There's something for everyone. Kid's playground is nicely integrated with surroundings, and incorporates more natural materials and uses enough open ended props to encourage imaginative play. The proximity of the salmon hatchery and accessible stream are a favourite of all the children. Good segregation of playground from the park trails and areas with heavier dog (often unleashed) traffic. Trails are moderately hilly with lots of scenic flat bits that run adjacent to the creek. Barred Owls, Northern Flickers, Herons, Pileated Woodpeckers, eagles are common sightings. It's a really great loop for young kids learning to hike - totally doable, but with some challenging bits for little legs, and doesn't feel like you're in the middle of a city when you're in it. Our only complaint is that the lack of enforcement of non-compliant off-leash dogs (often not under control, often trampling the environmentally sensitive areas, salmon-bearing streams, and leaving un-retrieved poop along the trails). Perhaps better placement of the poop bag dispenser closer to the poop bin, and maybe even a small, fenced in off-leash dog area on the open field, away from the creek could help curb the behavior. Also, seasonal spraying of "Round-Up"/glyphosphate (a known carcinogen) to target non-native Japanese Knotweed throughout the park often includes areas adjacent to the playground and creek that are high traffic areas for exploring kids, and could use additional fencing during treatment times to reduce the risk of exposure. All in all a great space, and would give it 5 stars if the off-leash dog issues were addressed and the risk for glyphosphate exposure mitigated (beyond simply posting a small sign warning of herbicide use as many users of the park are not familiar with the scientific terminologies used on the sign and do not fully realize the potential harm to their children or even pets for that matter).

Great trails for walking dogs off leash

(Translated) A very nice park to relax for a while, there are games for children and a river next to it, you can walk through the forest that is around (Original) Un parque muy lindo para relajarse un rato, hay juegos para niños y un río a lado, se puede caminar por el bosque que está alrededor

Great spot for dog walks.

Jon Chuma

Nice little park with lots of parking. Stream access is right there as well. A quick place to take the dog to cool off. Good starting point for creek walk. Lots of spots to observe the creek as the trail winds beside it. Not a muddy trail luckily. CNV has done a great job restoring the park.

Very nice small park with unique adventures for children.

Deanna Pickard

Great for kids

Ghazal M

This place is good but few things need improvements, Gates are a good idea so kids can't run into MARINE DRIVE AND LLOYD...also there are not enough Swings for that many kids...however the place has a good sitting area,convenient location and the little Creek is a good choice for fun summer days...

Thomas Cha

Nice little park for kids Couple of slides, swings and sand play area but highlights are the zip line..expect a good line of kids and the creek running through it.. Lots of natural water play opportunities in the summer

Great park by the Capilano mall. There are awesome well maintained trails along the MacKay Creek. Big natural grass fields for an outdoor fun games and activities. Great playground with swings, slides, extra large sand pit and a Zip Line. There is little beach next to the playground for kids to splash in the Creek shallow water. Free 3hrs parking. Public washrooms open year arround. Dogs allowed on leash only.
