Northyards Park

The District of Squamish is developing a neighbourhood park at the end of No Name Road in Squamish. We want to know how you currently use the space, and what you wish for the space in the future. Your input will be used to develop concept ideas for the park space. The concept idea(s) will then be presented to the neighbourhood before proceeding to design.

Residents of Northyards: stay tuned for further information about this engagement opportunity.
