 Planning for Aldergrove Lake Regional Park

Aldergrove Lake Regional Park is located in the southeast corner of Langley, straddling the Abbotsford border to Lefeuvre Road, and hugging the U.S. border to the south along 0 Avenue. The park offers expansive and stunning views of neighbouring agricultural lands and the Coast Mountains, including Mount Baker. Features of the park include Aldergrove Bowl, the historic lake site, heritage homes and farms, Pepin Brook—home to endangered Nooksack Dace and Salish Sucker—and the Big Rock, a remnant of the last Ice Age. Some 280 hectares in size, the park welcomes around 350,000 visitors a year, who come to walk, jog, cycle, ride horseback, view wildlife, enjoy nature, or let their dog romp in the leash-optional area.

The process to create the Management Plan for this big, beautiful public space is now underway. The management plan will set up a policy framework that helps to express a common understanding of the park's future (vision, goal & objectives), identify opportunities and contsraints for various park uses, make management intentions transparent, and the decisions of staff and management accountable.

Fast Facts

Aldergrove Bowl
Transformed from a 16 hectare gravel pit, Aldergrove Bowl is now a rolling expanse featuring a water fowl pond, wildlife marsh, trails, and gorgeous views of fields and mountains to the south. It’s a popular site for a variety of events including “Urban Star Quest” and “All night Star-gazing,” held in cooperation with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

Pepin Brook
Pepin Brook is a home for Species at Risk including the Salish sucker, Nooksack dace and Pacific water shrew. A tributary of the Nooksack River in Washington State, Pepin Brook also supports runs of salmon and trout as well as prickly sculpin, threespine stickleback, and western brook lamprey. Since 2001, almost 1 km of new habitat for these and scores of other native species has been created in the southwest corner of the park. This wetland restoration has been conducted in partnership with the Pepin Brook Streamkeepers and Langley Environmental Partners Society.

Camp Elkgrove
Camp Elkgrove is a unique, rural agricultural camp experience designed to accommodate special needs children; the facility is run by the Elks Recreational Children’s Camp Society of BC.
