Cassiar Park

Highlight • Rest Area

This small community park is surrounded by residential neighbourhoods with lots of open grassy areas and mature trees, perfect for a picnic on the lawn. The park includes a large figure-8 paved walkway with a few scattered benches, and is a local favourite spot for walkers, runners and cyclists to enjoy spending time outdoors away from the high traffic in this area. There are no washrooms here, but it’s a lovely place for a short walk or a break if you are hiking on one of the nearby trails.

Stoney Creek

Highlight • River

Stoney Creek is a small stream that flows through eastern Abbotsford, through forested and urban areas, before it joins Clayburn Creek and the larger Matsqui Slough watershed. The creek corridor is lined with mature trees, shrubs, and wetland vegetation that provide refuge for birds and other wildlife within the city. There are multiple trails and green spaces along portions of the creek that offer great places to enjoy nature along its banks.

Discovery Trail is a lovely multi-use route that stretches across Abbotsford, connecting parks, neighbourhoods, schools, and natural areas through the heart of the city. This paved trail is mostly flat and follows a mix of urban greenspace and creekside corridors, making it popular for walking, running, and cycling. Along the way, you’ll pass public art, viewpoints, wetlands, and forested sections, making this an ideal route to experience a little bit of everything that Abbotsford’s natural and cultural landscapes have to offer.
