Sp’akw’us Feather Park
Squamish's Newest Recreation Area
Squamish's newest park and recreation area has completed construction in some areas and will be continuing construction in some areas throughout Summer 2024.
The official grand opening of Sp’akw’us Feather Park will take place on August 17th, 2024, coinciding with the annual Sp’akw’us Feather Shakedown in partnership with Squamish Arts’ annual Squamish Arts Festival. This event promises to be a vibrant celebration of art and culture, highlighting the bright and inspiring future of Squamish.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE*
July 4, 2024 - The District of Squamish has temporarily closed the watersports beach at Sp’akw’us Feather Park on the oceanfront to kites and kiteboarders for an investigation. While the investigation is underway, kites are being restricted out of caution to ensure public safety. Wingfoiling and windsurfing continue to be permitted.
Access to Pepahím̓ (Spit Island) for kiteboarding is continuing as normal through the seasonal shuttle service operated by the Squamish Windsports Society. Shuttles take place daily between noon and 7 p.m. with access to the shuttle launch a short walk from the Sp’akw’us Feather parking lot.
How to get here
Located near downtown Squamish, take Loggers Lane or Cleveland Ave southwest towards the waterfront.
About the Park
This 11-acre park features an oceanfront public beach, a windsports beach, the meadow/dune grass area, crushed rock and paved pathways, a boardwalk, as well as a Land’s End monument along with shoreline planting and intertidal habitat.
As described by the developer, "Sp’akw’us Feather Park transforms the tip of the Oceanfront Peninsula into a beautiful and vibrant community gathering space. The oceanfront park features multiple significant art pieces by local artists including James Harry and Maskull Lassere; a playground designed in collaboration with Indigenous youth that retells Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw stories of the land; slackline posts; lawn area designed for a sound stage; and cultural gardens with an area for outdoor classes."
Future additions to the park include a sailing centre with a drive-to-boat launch, a temporary parking area, a washroom facility, and boat storage facilities. Building for these amenities are currently underway and are due to continue through 2025. Also please note that other work on the park will continue through summer 2024, which may impact park access.
