Go explore: Cates Park

Where the forest meets the sea is where you will find Cates Park in North Vancouver. The largest waterfront park in the district, it is part of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Its ancestral name is Whey-ah-Wichen, which is a Tsleil-Waututh word that means “facing the wind.”

The park features six kilometres of waterfront trails, playgrounds, picnic shelters, beaches and a year-round boat launch. It is a perfect launching point to explore the coastline or venture into Indian Arm by kayak or canoe, and a favourite location to host our paddlesport programs.
