Trails and Recreation
Hiking
Park trails amble through the dunes and old fields near Centennial Beach. (Just be sure to stay on the trails to avoid disturbing
sensitive habitat.) It’s also possible to walk along the 16.4 kilometres that makes up the Dyke Trail between 17A Avenue in Delta and Mud Bay Park in Surrey.
Cycling
Cycling is permitted on dyke trails only. To minimize erosion and habitat damage, please stay on designated trails.
Dogs
Dogs must be leashed and under control. Even well-trained dogs can frighten or injure wildlife and/or park visitors. Off-leash dogs
can have significant impacts on ground-nesting birds and important habitat year-round. Please scoop up your dog’s poop and dispose of it properly. Health regulations prohibit dogs on the beach.

Habitat Alert!
Boundary Bay is an internationally significant site on the Pacific Flyway migration route, and a great birding destination. Thousands of birds follow this coastal route and depend on the marine, wetland and upland habitats at Boundary Bay to feed and rest. Please help protect valuable habitat and the wildlife it supports. Stay out of wildlife reserves and management areas; keep to the trails and leash dogs.
Cammidge House (1914)
Cammidge House, originally located at Third Avenue and Boundary Bay Road, was moved to the park in 1998 and restored. Today, it provides a scenic setting for meetings, parties and events. Restoration was made possible by: Century Group, Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions, Human Resources Development Canada, Corporation of Delta, Metro Vancouver and community supporters. Call 604-432-6352 for booking information.
