Kings Mill Walk Park

Kings Mill Walk Park

What's Happening Now

As part of the revitalization of the Harbourside neighbourhood, a small portion of Kings Mill Walk Park, located south of Harbourside Place, is closed for construction. Work is underway and includes the installation of underground utilities and related roadway improvements to support site development and future park enhancements. Kings Mill Walk Park west of Harbourside Place remains open and accessible to the public until shoreline improvement work begins.

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.

Kings Mill Walk Park Master Plan

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.

Project Updates

  • Design for the new Kings Mill Walk Park is underway. Construction of the park will begin once the climate resilient shoreline improvements are complete. The timing of this work, which includes raising the site elevation to address sea level rise and enhancing foreshore habitat, is coordinated with the Harbourside Waterfront Development. For safety reasons, the park will be closed to the public during both the shoreline improvements and park construction. The closure is anticipated to last approximately two years. The public will be notified once the closure dates have been finalized. Information about alternate recreation areas and off leash dog sites will also be provided.
  • In May 2024, City Council adopted a bylaw authorizing the City to borrow $4.3 million to finance the construction of Kings Mill Walk Park. To learn more, visit cnv.org/AAP. 
  • Since September 2023, the park area south of Harbourside Place has been closed to the public due to the construction of the Harbourside Waterfront Development. 
  • In February 2022, City Council endorsed the Kings Mill Walk Park Master Plan. Council also directed staff to invite Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) to help rename the park to better reflect the area. Park names will be brought forward for Council consideration.
