Klootchman Park - West Vancouver

by Dad

Activity

Klootchman Park is a small park tucked away just west of Lighthouse Park . It's not a park in the traditional sense (no swings or concessions), but rather a small natural wilderness area by the ocean. A rustic, narrow trail leads you down to oceanside cliffs amongst hemlocks, cedars, and lots of arbutus trees. Breathtaking views of the ocean, and of the ferries departing for Vancouver Island.

Age Group

Even as a adult the steep cliffs of Klootchman Park makes me nervous. I think this park is best for older children (10 years old and up).

Expense Rating

Free

Thumbs Up

Beautiful vistas of the ocean and craggy shoreline

Steep cliffs so keep an eye on small children

Details

There is very limited road parking. Located just west of Lighthouse Park , the trail to Klootchman Park is at the intersection of Howe Sound Lane and The Byway.

Educational Highlights

West coast vegetation at its best. Marvel at the barkless arbutus trees, and views all the way to Vancouver Island.

Fun for the Adult?

Imagine this: meditating on the meaning of life on a bluff above the ocean surrounded by beautiful arbutus trees, and hearing nothing but lapping waves and singing birds...with 3 kids, good luck!

I love looking at the barkless Arbutus trees at Klootchman park
