Kings Mill Walk Park is a popular waterfront park located between Mackay and Mosquito creeks. The park offers stunning views across Burrard Inlet and is a key connection in the North Shore Spirit Trail.
Kings Mill Walk Park is getting a major upgrade as part of the revitalization of the Harbourside neighbourhood and climate-resilient shoreline improvements. The newly envisioned park will feature:
- An all-ages play zone with children’s adventure-based play areas, a fitness station that is suitable for many ages, and a public washroom.
- An accessible off-leash dog area with run and fetch space, a small and shy dog area, seating, shade, and lighting for year-round use.
- An open park with a beach volleyball court, lawn area, large shade trees, picnic shelters, covered seating, and benches.
- A new plaza at Fell Avenue that will serve as a lively entrance to the park with dynamic gathering spaces, a view deck overlooking the Burrard Inlet, and local public art.
- Climate-resilient shoreline improvements and ecological enhancements to support diverse healthy habitats.
With the changes to the Harbourside and Marine Drive neighbourhoods, the City has developed a comprehensive plan for Kings Mill Walk Park to renew and improve the area in response to evolving community needs and climate change.
City Council endorsed the Kings Mill Walk Park Master Plan in February 2022. The plan was developed through a collaborative process involving the City of North Vancouver, a City Council-appointed Task Force, a consultant team, interest-holders, and engaged citizens.
