MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR With the warmer temperatures of spring and summer, it’s time for all of us to stretch our legs and enjoy the natural beauty of Chilliwack. I find this is the best time of year to dust off my bicycle and spend some time in the fresh air on one of our many trails. If you’re looking to do the same, check out the Valley Rail Trail, or head down to the Vedder River and enjoy the view along the Vedder Rotary Trail. In addition to Chilliwack’s endless supply of outdoor recreational opportunities, the program lineup in this Leisure Guide offers something for everyone. Take a look at what’s being offered this season for some inspiration for your spring/ summer activities. The programs in our Leisure Guide are a collaborative effort. Each Leisure Guide contributor brings their own expertise, and as a team, we work to collectively address the needs and interests of our residents. Similarly, many of our facilities are operated by independent contractors with the expertise and knowledge

Townsend Park

Outdoor Sports Venues

The City of Chilliwack has more than 58 sports fields and 95 ball diamonds available to the community for recreational and league play. All groups and organizations who would like to use these fields must first obtain a Facility Use Agreement from the Recreation and Culture Department. Regular sports groups should contact their league scheduler for times and fields available. FIELD STATUS: An “OPEN” sports field is available for current permit holders as designated by the City of Chilliwack. However, when sports fields are designated open, pre-game field checks still must be completed by the officials and/or coaches to verify the safety and playability of the surface at that time. City of Chilliwack fields that have become unsafe or are in a position to sustain significant surface damage should be closed by the officials and/or coaches. Information can be found at chilliwack.com/fields.

Townsend Park is a 15 hectare park west of downtown Chilliwack. The park is named after Harold Townsend, who lived and farmed this land until 1946 when the City purchased it and began the process of developing a major public sports facility for ball sports and general leisure. The park is equipped with a Kinsmen Ability children’s play area, change rooms, concession, washrooms and other amenities. This outdoor facility also has a 2.3 km walking trail around its perimeter, and contains five multipurpose pitches, three of which are lit, and six lit softball diamonds. Diamonds 1 to 6 radiate out from the centrally located washrooms, concession and a pavilion capable of seating 80 people. These facilities are all easily accessible from the large parking lot at the west end of the park. Pitch A is an all-weather turf field correctly lined for football, soccer and field hockey. It is available for both competition and practice. Pitch A is completed by a scoreboard and an announcer’s viewing tower, fixed bleachers and excellent lighting. Pitches B through D are wellpositioned off of Wolfe Road and have a concession and washroom/change facility centered amongst them. These pitches do not have lights available.

Exhibition Field

Exhibition Field is considered one of the premier artificial turf facilities in the Lower Mainland. This outdoor facility is designed to accommodate football games for both CFL and NFL rules. The layout of Exhibition Field also allows it to be used as one full, three mini or twelve micro soccer pitches. With the large grandstand, four team change rooms and an official change room, Exhibition Field is ideal for hosting any premier sporting event in Chilliwack.

Off-Leash Dog Parks

Dog are welcome on a leash in all of Chilliwack parks (with the exception of the Cheam Wetlands and the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve) and are permitted in the designated off-leash parks located at Vedder Park, Vedder North Dyke Trail between Lickman Road and Webster Road, Island 22, Sheffield Dog Off-Leash Area and Cultus Lake. A new Yarrow off-leash trail section will be added in 2019. Dog owners are asked to adhere to the following guidelines when using the off-leash parks: • Dogs must be under firm voice and visual control • Dog owners must be in attendance • Dog owners must have a leash visible

Waterfowl in the Parks We get it! Feeding the ducks and geese in the park seems like a kind and compassionate thing to do. Did you know its actually the opposite? Below are a few reasons why. When feeding waterfowl you: • Disturb natural migration patterns causing overcrowding which can lead to disease and fighting amongst the population. • Destroy the birds’ ability to forage and find food themselves. • Deprive the bird of essential nutrients which can cause serious nutritional problems and even death.

• Dogs must display a current dog license and be up to date on their vaccinations • Dog owners are required to pick up after their dog and dispose of the droppings • Dog owners are asked to repair any damage such as holes that result from their dogs • Please avoid bringing toys and food to the park when other dogs are present

• Create less usable park area due to the high level of bird droppings left by the increasing waterfowl population. • And lastly…………….

• RUN THE RISK OF BEING FINED $2,000! That right; there is a large fine under Bylaw 2974 which prohibits the feeding of waterfowl in Chilliwack.

Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve Sharing Nature with our Community

Come out and discover the tranquility of this nature reserve, where the focus is protection of this fragile wetland ecosystem and the flora and fauna that call this site home. Enjoy a walk and watch for a variety of wildlife, including one of the largest breeding colonies of Pacific Great Blue Herons in B.C. Hundreds of herons nest on site every year from March to July, but herons can be spotted fishing in the wetlands throughout the year. There are no admission fees to walk the site or to visit the Rotary Interpretive Centre, but donations are welcome to help support the conservation of this undyked floodplain habitat. The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve Society manages the programs and services at this City of Chilliwack site, which is located along the Vedder River at the south end of Sumas Prairie Road in Greendale.
