Orchards West Park

Natural Escape

Tucked away in Vancouver, Orchards West Park spreads across about 13 acres of land, creating a wooded haven that feels surprisingly secluded despite being in the city. Walking under the canopy of old growth fir trees, you'll forget you're just minutes from urban life.

You'll come across this green sanctuary in the Orchards Area of Vancouver, making it a convenient spot for locals to escape the daily grind. Just north of the Vancouver Mall and near where I-205 meets SR-500, you can easily pair your park visit with errands or grab a bite at nearby restaurants afterward.

Outdoor Fun

The park offers something for everyone, whether you're looking to burn energy or find a quiet moment. Kids will enjoy the well-maintained playground that's in great shape, but it's better suited for younger children who aren't seeking extreme adventure.

Feel like stretching your legs? The walking trails meander through the woods, ideal for a peaceful stroll while taking in the natural surroundings. We love how the park blends open sunny areas with shaded woodland spots, so you can choose your perfect temperature depending on the day.

What to Expect

You can find all the basics covered here - benches scattered around the paved playground, a drinking fountain for when thirst strikes, and trash cans to keep the space clean. Multiple entrances make it easy to access the park no matter which direction you're coming from.

A unique feature is the RC track where remote control enthusiasts gather to race their vehicles. Just note that parking can be limited near this area if you're planning to check it out.

Pup-Friendly Paths

Dog owners appreciate the fully enclosed space where four-legged friends can safely explore on leash. The network of trails makes it easy to chart your own course, allowing you to avoid other visitors if your pup needs some space.

With its blend of natural beauty and community amenities, this park strikes that perfect balance - not too developed to lose its woodland charm, yet equipped with enough features to make it a neighborhood favorite.
