Discover Year-Round Fun at Bonson Park - Play Disc Golf, Toboggan and More!
Bonson Park has been transformed into a vibrant, multi-use community space designed for year-round fun and connection, offering amenities for everyone to enjoy in every season. The park opened back up in the winter months to allow for tobogganing. Work on the park continues to bring the project to full completion including drainage elements as the grass settles, and the upcoming installation of permanent t-boxes once the park has seen a season of full course testing and usage.
Exciting Features Include:
- Disc Golf Course: A brand-new course for all ages and abilities, with removable targets for winter versatility.
- Winter Tobogganing Hills: Enhanced slopes ready for sledding when snow falls.
- Natural Shaded Canopy Areas: Perfect for outdoor gatherings, picnics or relaxing in nature.
- Flood Mitigation: The park has been raised by two feet, with swales added to manage stormwater efficiently.
- Sustainability: Upgrades enhance usability and environmental resilience.
- Bonson Park’s evolution, from a rock pit to a dynamic recreational hub, highlights its rich history. Once a dry, grassy area with limited summer use, it is now a year-round destination for activity and relaxation.

Park History
The land in the early 1900’s was part of a gravel pit owned by the Bonson family. Lewis Bonson, a Royal Engineer, and his wife Jeminah established the pit, which later became a valuable resource for their son, the first road foreman in the Pitt Meadows area. Over time, as the city expanded and land use priorities shifted, the space was ultimately decommissioned in the 1980's. Following this, extensive groundwork was undertaken to repurpose the area into the park enjoyed by residents today. Archival images capture the land's preparation for its new role as a public space, including early recreational activities such as sledding.
