The Fraser Riverfront trails, washrooms and picnic tables are accessible. The Hatchery is accessible with assistance as some gravel areas make maneuvering difficult. However, trails are subject to use and weathering which may degrade them to the point where their original accessible design has been compromised. It is advisable to take an able-bodied person with you. Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Society (KEEPS) is actively involved in this park. For information or to get involved , go to the KEEPS web site (www.keeps.org) or call 604-462-8643 or contact the Community Development Coordinator at the East Area Parks Office at 604-530-4983 or go to the Park Partnership Initiative Web site.
