Everett Crowley Park, a 40 hectare (100 acre) parcel of land in southeast Vancouver, is a unique place for recreation, nature appreciation, and wildlife habitat in the city.
Located near Kerr Rd. and Marine Way, the park rests on an escarpment and looks out over the North arm of the Fraser River. Nature trails and walking paths offer magnificent views of farms and fields in Richmond, and on a clear day the Gulf Islands and Mount Baker are visible.
This is a now beautiful area of the city that has evolved amidst both the disturbances and positive influences of human activity in a large city. In fact, Everett Crowley Park is Vancouver’s 5th largest park, but was Vancouver’s main landfill (the Kerr Road dump) from 1944 to 1967.
The Everett Crowley Park Committee (ECPC) is a sub-committee of the Champlain Heights Community Association and is made up of park users and local residents who are working to see this green space protected and enhanced for the long term.
New members to the Everett Crowley Park Committee are always welcome (and needed). The committee meets monthly at the Champlain Heights Community Centre, and we also regularly host park stewardship events.
