Proposed features
- A unique, Pacific Northwest-themed fitness area to support parkour and calisthenics
- A complete renewal of the existing playground A
- full renewal of the existing dog off-leash area
- A new washroom
- A drinking fountain
- Upgrades to the existing sport court
- Safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists in this busy area
Updates on the proposed fitness area and safety improvements will be shared at a future date.
Following 2 rounds of public engagement, we have developed plans to improve the amenities in Coopers’ Park, under the Cambie Street Bridge.
We anticipate that the renewal of the playground will begin spring 2028, following completion of seismic upgrades and rehabilitation work on the Cambie Street Bridge.
During construction work on the bridge, anticipated to begin early 2026, Coopers’ Park playground and sport court will be closed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
A map of alternative playground and sport court locations can be found on signage in and around Coopers’ Park.
Completed improvements
In 2024, the Park Board completed renewal work on the dog off-leash area (OLA) in Coopers' Park. The OLA now features:
- A separate area for small and/or shy dogs
- 2 water stations
- Splinter-free wood chip surfacing
- Grassy area with trees for shade
- Accessible pathways with added seating
In 2023, we opened a new washroom in Coopers’ Park, in support of the Park Board’s Washroom Strategy PDF file (3.5 MB), which aims to deliver safe, clean and accessible washroom facilities to enhance the park experience for all.
