Aldergrove Regional Park is the easy one to tuck into a Saturday: short trails, a kids’ nature play area, and views toward the Cascades and Mount Baker. Metro Vancouver’s brochure says glaciers shaped the land, gravel extraction changed it, and it was then restored as parkland.

Trails

  • Pepin Brook Trail: a 3.5 km loop, about an hour. Flat and rolling with some steep bits. The brochure says it is home to three species at risk, so keep dogs on leash and out of the water.
  • Rock 'n Horse Trail: 6.5 km return from the Equestrian Trailhead, about 2 hours. Shared by riders, cyclists and walkers.
  • Aldergrove Bowl Viewpoint: 1 km return, about 30 minutes, with some steep sections and views of the Cascades and Mount Baker.

Horse trailers must park and unload at the Equestrian Trailhead at 272 St and 6 Ave.

For families

The Nature Discovery Area has a climbing stump, sand play, stepping stones, a grassy hill and picnic tables. Dogs are not allowed there or on the Nature Discovery Loop. The Main Day-use Area has washrooms, picnic tables and wheelchair-accessible trails, and the Blacktail Picnic Shelter can be booked on 604-432-6352.

What else is here

The Big Rock on the east side is a leftover from the last Ice Age, deposited about 12,000 years ago. A wetland restoration in the southwest corner created habitat for the Salish sucker, Nooksack dace and Pacific water shrew. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada runs stargazing programs here. Camp Elkgrove, a rural camp for children with special needs, is also on site and is not open to the public.

Rules

No camping, liquor or cannabis. Smoking is only in signed areas. Stay on marked trails and off neighbouring private property. The brochure lists no seasonal closures, so check the park page or call 604-530-4983 for current conditions.

More trails are in our hikes and walks guide, and the off-leash page covers the dog area. See events for upcoming happenings.
