The Marine and Hamilton neighbourhood is growing, meaning more families and community members are enjoying Heywood Park. Providing picnicking opportunities and park shelters was also a recommendation from the original Heywood Park Master Plan in 2010.
Leave the bustle of Marine Drive and escape into a lush, green ravine that frames the salmon-bearing Mackay Creek. The southern portion of this park is a valley bordered by multi-family homes and local businesses along Marine Drive.
Accessible washrooms are integrated into the vibrantly painted Mackay Creek Hatchery field-house, and further past the playground a footbridge leads to an open grassy area and an extensive trail network.
