East Fraser Lands (EFL) parks

East Fraser Lands (EFL) is being developed by Wesgroup to house up to 12,000 new residents in the coming decades.

To compliment this development, the Vancouver Park Board is committed to designing and constructing 25.2 acres (10.2 hectres) of parks within the community – approximately 20% of the land area.

In 2016 and 2017, the Park Board undertook a community engagement process for 7.8 acres of these parks including Foreshore Park, Kinross Park, and Neighbourhood Park South. The designs were approved by the Park Board in late 2017 and the detailed designs evolved through 2018 and 2019. The design process is also underway for a new park at Sawmill Crescent and Marine Way, with public engagement opportunities in late summer 2020. 

Neighbourhood Park South was opened to the public in September 2019. North and Middle Kinross Park were opened to the public in 2022. South Kinross Park and playground opened to the public in spring 2024.

Foreshore Park will begin construction in summer 2025, and is anticipated to be open to the public in early 2026.
