Nature Trails Brochure

Hazelnut Meadows Community Park

Like many other parks in Surrey, you will find the "Big Three" trees of the Pacific Northwest here—Western redcedar, Douglas-fir and Western hemlock. These native trees once blanketed all of Surrey. You’ll also find an open lawn with willow and oak trees—a perfect place for a picnic. This park offers 1.6km of nature trails that take about 30 minutes to walk. On your walk, search for a small bird called a brown creeper, creeping up the trunk of bigleaf maples looking for insects to eat. In the southwest portion of the park, you’ll find basketball and ball hockey courts, a community garden, playground and picnic shelters. Bring your friends and family out to play! In recent years, students and volunteers have been actively removing invasive plants and planting native trees and shrubs to take their place. These stewardship efforts have helped to restore wildlife habitat in the park. Can you spot any evidence of their work? Visit surrey.ca/parkprograms to get involved in projects like this.
