Well hidden and little known to anyone except those who live close by, this park is essentially a large grassed area with many mature trees, both deciduous and conifer, alongside Highway 3 in East Trail. We drove by it a thousand times before we realized it was a park, not simply a wide boulevard. It's not included in the city's listing of neighbourhood parks. The majority of it is hidden from the highway by large trees. It is a long park of about 1 km. which is about 100 - 120 metres wide at its widest.

The only amenities in the park are some picnic tables, but it is a great place to let the dog run, throw a frisbee or a baseball or football around, or just lie in the shade of the trees and let the rest of the world go by.
