Nature Trails Brochure

Invergarry Park Over 100 years ago, Surrey began consolidating land to protect and preserve the Bon Accord ravine and creek system, which led to the creation of this park. Bon Accord Creek, Wallace Creek and their riparian areas (areas around waterways) provide shade, shelter and food for fish and insects. Today, the park protects significant natural areas and riparian habitat. Trails lead up and down through the forest, giving you unique perspectives from above the forest floor. Throughout the park, large staircases lead you into the forest below. Look up for a chance to spot eagles and other birds in the treetops. Can you see any nests? As you walk the trails, take a look for devil’s club’s large leaves or yew trees’ dark red to purple shedding bark. Both of these plants are uncommon in Surrey and have played important roles in medicine—a pharmacy in the forest! This local treasure is also the location of one of the Lower Mainland’s premier mountain bike parks. It offers a range of trails for various skill levels and ages, including some of Surrey’s most expert terrain. A small gravel parking lot is at Wallace Drive and Surrey Road. Street parking is available at various access points to the park including 114 Avenue, Currie Drive and Gladstone Drive.
