Parks, Trails and Recreation in Langley City: Where to Go and What's There

Langley City is small, but it is well supplied with green space: the City lists 17 parks and 10 trails, plus two recreation centres on Douglas Crescent. Most families live within a few blocks of a playground. The big three are City Park in the south-east, Douglas Park downtown and Penzer Park in the south-west, and the Nicomekl River ties much of the rest together with trails.

The parks

Features come from the City’s current park directory. Washrooms and spray features can be seasonal, so a listed feature isn’t a promise that it’s open on the day.

Linwood’s new playground shade sails were finished in June 2026. We cover the garden spaces on our community gardens page, and the City’s two best-known parks have their own pages: Sendall Gardens and Brydon Lagoon.

Trails and walks

The City’s trail map names ten routes: Rotary Nicomekl, Langley Creek, City Park, Dog Park Loop, Powerline East, Pleasantdale Creek, Muckle Creek, Powerline West, Baldi Creek and Brydon Lagoon. Stay on the marked public paths. A creek or power-line corridor on a map doesn’t make every neighbouring property public.

We haven’t measured these routes, so we won’t quote lengths. Winter flooding on low trails and gates are worth checking in person. See our Nicomekl River trails page and Langley hikes and walks.

Recreation centres, the pool and the rinks

Timms Community Centre (20399 Douglas Crescent) and Douglas Recreation and Child Care Centre (20550 Douglas Crescent) are run by the City, which has its own registration system separate from the Township’s. Register online or call 604-514-2940, and see our Timms page. The Douglas centre reopened on 5 June 2026 with added recreation space and 75 licensed childcare spaces.

Fees (City of Langley, as listed in October 2026): adult drop-in $6; ages 4 to 18 $3; student or senior (60+) $4.50; family $12; a $25 annual games and track pass; and $1 for qualifying City residents aged 80 and over. The City’s Leisure Access program gives income-tested discounts.

Al Anderson Memorial Pool (4949 207 Street, in City Park) is outdoor and seasonal. The 2026 season ended in September and the City lists reopening on 18 April 2027. A feasibility study published on 30 March 2026 looked at future aquatic options, and the City has run a public engagement on it; we found no approved construction date for a year-round pool. See Al Anderson Memorial Pool.

Ice: Canlan Sports Langley Twin Rinks at 5700 Langley Bypass is run by a private operator, not the City.

Clubs and annual events

Family sport leads include Langley Flippers swimming, Langley Baseball (City Park) and Langley Minor Hockey. Registering with the City doesn’t register a child in a club, so check each club’s age groups and dates. Our minor sports directory lists more.

In 2026, Community Day was at Douglas Park on 13 June; Arts Alive filled the Fraser Highway One-Way on 15 August; and the Langley Community Farmers Market ran Wednesdays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., June to August, at Douglas Park. We haven’t seen 2027 dates, so check the City’s events calendar and our annual events calendar.

What’s coming

The City’s first two “Resilient Neighbourhood Networks” pilots are in Nicomekl and Douglas (announced June 2026), and they link residents to volunteering through Let’s Chat Langley City. Pool renewal remains a planning matter. We have no construction schedule for the park proposals in the Official Community Plan.
