Terra Nova Rural Park is a 63 acre site offering immersive natural experiences, walks among farms and gardens, and gorgeous views of the Salish Sea. Located along the Pacific Flyway and adjacent to the Sturgeon Bank Wildlife Management Area, the park counts large numbers of migratory birds among its fauna. The network of trails, unique adventure playground, and many tranquil rest areas make it a great destination. Ongoing agricultural activities, historic hedgerows, and heritage buildings offer a nod to Terra Nova’s farming past that included an operating cannery until the middle of the 20th century. The park is home to the Sharing Farm, where produce is grown for the Food Bank, demonstration gardens, and a community garden, all of which is made possible by the City’s non-profit partners and the bees that call the pollinator pastures home.
REMINDER: Terra Nova Rural Park is a NO DOGS ALLOWED area, as per City of Richmond Animal Control Bylaw 8612.
