Ask a Brookswood parent where to take the kids and you’ll probably hear “Noel Booth”, the big park at 36 Avenue and 202 Street with ball diamonds, an all-weather field, tennis, ponds, trails, a playground built around a wooden version of the old N. Booth General Merchant bus and, at its south end, the off-leash dog area. Around it are a handful of smaller neighbourhood parks, the rink at George Preston, and, a few minutes south of Fernridge, Campbell Valley Regional Park, which is where you go to walk for a couple of hours. We’ve split what follows into what’s here, what’s next door and what you shouldn’t try to visit.
Which parks are in Brookswood and Fernridge?
Facilities below come from the Township’s park listings, checked October 2026. Hours are normally dawn to dusk, subject to bookings and events. Dogs must be leashed except in designated areas and aren’t allowed on sports fields.
| Park | Where | What’s there |
|---|---|---|
| Noel Booth Community Park | 36 Avenue and 202 Street; older maps also show parking toward the 32 Avenue end beside the former Fire Hall 5 site | Ball diamonds, soccer and all-weather fields, a lighted synthetic field, tennis, playground, ponds, trails (Anderson Creek and a pond viewing platform are labelled), washrooms, drinking water, concession, parking, off-leash dog area at the south end |
| Brookswood Park | 4001 200 Street | Spray park, forest and passive space, plaza, drinking water, washroom, parking. Check 2026 spray-park dates before you go |
| Bell Park | 38 Avenue and 205B Street | Ball diamond, soccer and grass fields, play area, drinking water, washroom |
| East Brookswood Park | 4100 block of 212 Street | Ball diamond, soccer and grass fields, play area, trails, drinking water, washroom |

The Township’s 2025 annual report also lists Zazulak Park, 197 and 30 Park and 197 and 44B Park among its inventory. We couldn’t confirm public entrances or facilities for those three, so we’re not pointing you to them. Our dog parks guide and playgrounds guide have more detail on the ones people use most.
Places on the map you can't visit. Rees Lake and Sunrise Lake are private; Rees-Callard Natural Park's official map shows a sign kiosk on 202 Street but no route to the water. The Wiser Natural Area (4100 block of 196A Street) is a listed natural area with no public access. Please don't cut across private land or follow informal paths to reach either. The Campbell Valley and park entrances below are the ones to use.
Where do I go for a real walk? Campbell Valley Regional Park
Campbell Valley Regional Park is run by Metro Vancouver and sits along the southern and eastern edge of the community plan area. Metro’s December 2025 map shows four entrances: North Valley off 16 Avenue east of 200 Street, South Valley at 8 Avenue and 204 Street, Campbell Downs equestrian access on 208 Street and a 4 Avenue entrance. Use the signed public entrances and the mapped parking.
| Trail | Length and terrain | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Little River Loop | About 2.2 to 2.3 km (Metro lists both). Gentle, with packed crushed rock and boardwalk; one 40 m stretch at 6 to 8% | The North Valley entrance is the mapped approach. Check accessibility notes against your needs |
| Shaggy Mane Trail | About 11 km, with climbs in and out of the valley and muddy sections in season | Walkers and riders only; pedestrians yield to horses; no cycling |
| Perimeter Trail | Almost 9 km, mostly flat with a short 6 to 8% section | Cycling is allowed; cyclists yield to pedestrians and riders |
Right now: on 30 October 2026, the park’s page showed a closure of the area and trails east of McLean Pond for trail and parking-lot construction, with no reopening date. McLean Pond is closed to fishing and stocking. Dogs are leashed except in the designated area next to 4 Avenue. The Nature House is open from Victoria Day weekend to Labour Day, so don’t count on it for a fall visit. Check Metro Vancouver’s park page before you set out.
The Township lists the Fernridge Trail among its equestrian routes, but the linked horse-trail map dates from March 2014. We can’t give you a current alignment or parking spot for it; ask Township Parks (604-532-7350) first.
Rec centres, pools and arenas
George Preston Recreation Centre, 20699 42 Avenue (604-530-1323) has an ice arena, the Langley Curling Centre, an outdoor sports box and rooms to rent. There’s no swimming pool. See the centre’s page and its linked drop-in skating and registration schedules. For swimming, saunas and a fitness room, the nearest is W.C. Blair Recreation Centre, 22200 Fraser Highway in Murrayville (604-533-6170), with a wave pool that has six 25 m lanes (our page). The Cedarbrook bakery counter is now inside George Preston’s lobby (see shops and services).
Which clubs and teams are local?
| Group | Local link | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Langley Fastball Association | Home park is Noel Booth: six diamonds and a batting cage | Use its current registration page. Fall 2026 clinics (October to December) are limited to eligible players aged 11 and up who played house ball in spring 2026 |
| Langley Minor Hockey | George Preston is one of its rinks | 2026-27 registration and residency rules are on its site; practices can be at other Langley rinks |
| Langley Curling Centre | Inside George Preston | Try-curling sessions and a six-week Learn to Curl league (ages 16 and up); check dates |
| Langley United Soccer | Active Start, grassroots, youth and adult programmes | See its programme pages; we couldn’t confirm which teams practise in Brookswood |
| Langley Baseball | Nearby Little League with eligibility by residence or school boundary | Its boundary page and League Finder resolve an exact address; its base is City Park, not Noel Booth |
What events happen in the parks?
The Township ran a movie night at Noel Booth Community Park on 29 August 2026. That’s a past event, not a promise of the same date next year, but it shows how the Township uses the park for summer programming; watch the Township’s Summer Nights page and our events listings. The farmers’ market linked to Summer Nights is at Willoughby Community Park, not in Brookswood.
What parks are planned?
The adopted neighbourhood plans mark future parks, greenways and school and park sites. Booth’s town-centre framework includes a public square or pocket park of at least 4,050 m² and a recreation-centre shell. Those are planning requirements: no opening dates have been published, and a line on a map doesn’t mean public access today. See what’s coming for the wider picture.
