    When will demolition start for Lulu island park? And when is it expected to be completed?

    Marguerite asked over 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question concerning the future Lulu Island Park. 

    Later this year the City intends to procure the services of a multidisciplinary consultant team to initiate the preliminary planning phase of the project. This phase will include a variety of environmental, engineering, and transportation studies, stakeholder engagement, and public consultation that will begin to inform a timetable for park development. The timeline for all development related to the park, including demolition and construction phasing, will be determined during this process.

  • Share I didn't see anything for Gary Point. all it needs is more shade to expand picnic areas, buoys on beaches to limit safe use of water and keep drift wood at bay and some other bathroom facilities on the West side of the park, not too much money on this. Also, I wonder why it takes so many years (decades) for a project to come from blueprint to reality. on Facebook Share I didn't see anything for Gary Point. all it needs is more shade to expand picnic areas, buoys on beaches to limit safe use of water and keep drift wood at bay and some other bathroom facilities on the West side of the park, not too much money on this.

    Thank you for your question and suggestions.
    While we do not have a designated capital project for the Garry Point Park, please note:

    • This year, City Council has approved a new Parks Capital Program to increase the provision of Shade / Shelter in Parks. Staff is currently conducting a study to assess needs and service gaps, Garry Point is one of the locations being reviewed. If it is identified as a priority location, new shade structures will be installed and we will look for opportunities from our existing budget to expand picnic areas where possible.
    • Re: drift wood, the beach area is under the high water mark and is under Provincial jurisdiction and the City has limited authority to intervene in this area. We will pass along your comments to our provincial counterparts for their awareness.
    • Please note that No Swimming signage is posted throughout the site due to the unpredictable conditions along the Fraser River, including freshets, king tides and waves.
    • Finally, please also note that the majority of the park is outside of our dike system; it's not recommended to build major facilities outside the dike for flood protection purposes.
