Where Is Williams Park?
Williams Park
23800 8 Ave, Langley Township, BC
Located along the Salmon River in south Langley, this park feels tucked away and calm, even though it is easy to access.
Free parking is available at multiple lots throughout the park.
What Makes Williams Park Great for Families?
Flat Walking Trails
The riverside walking paths are mostly flat and wide. Perfect for:
• Strollers
• Scooters
• Young walkers
• Grandparents
• Casual nature strolls
You can choose short loops or wander longer depending on your crew’s energy.
Salmon River Views
The park runs alongside the Salmon River, which adds peaceful water views and lots of nature interest for kids.
In the fall, you may even spot spawning salmon.
Large Open Green Space
There is plenty of room to:
• Toss a football
• Fly a kite
• Bring bikes
• Pack a picnic
• Let kids burn energy safely
It is one of those parks where kids can roam a bit while still feeling contained.
Playground Area
Williams Park also has a playground near the main parking area, making it easy to combine a nature walk with some classic playground time.
This makes it ideal for mixed age families.
When to Visit
Williams Park works year round.
Spring and summer are green and vibrant.
Fall is beautiful with changing leaves.
Even winter walks here are peaceful and manageable.
After rain, some trails can be muddy, so proper shoes help.
What to Bring
To enjoy the wetlands comfortably, consider bringing:
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Water bottles
• Picnic Basket
• A jacket for rainy days
• Binoculars if your kids enjoy bird watching
Some sections can be soft after rain, so waterproof footwear can be helpful in wetter seasons.
