The Vancouver Park Board is developing a park renewal plan for John Hendry Park to guide park improvements over the next 20+ years.
Several directions as to how to improve the park have been developed that bring together ideas, comments and concerns that the community has shared since the planning process began in 2013.
We are currently reviewing updated directions and refining the renewal plan before it is presented to the Park Board Commissioners for consideration in 2022 and we are interested to hear what you think!
If you have comments on the changes we are proposing, please fill out this survey. Paper copies are available on request, and can be submitted by mail.

John Hendry Park - Phase 2 Public Engagement Introduction
Creating a plan to guide the future of John Hendry Park has been a journey – a path that has taken some pauses and detours as our City and the world around us has evolved. During this journey, new information and knowledge have emerged. While many directions for the park have remained constant the entire way, new information has led to rethinking and refining some directions. Throughout it all, people who love and care for John Hendry Park have continued to engage, sharing their hopes, as well as their concerns, for the future of this important park. Through the process, a draft plan for the park has emerged. It seeks to balance diverse, and at times, competing community desires, align with the City’s commitments and policies, and achieve the long-time vision for a healthy and inclusive John Hendry Park.

John Hendry Park - Trout Lake Water Quality Monitoring & Treatment
Trout Lake is, and will continue to be, the centrepiece of John Hendry Park. The community wishes a swimmable lake; however, the current practice of pumping millions of gallons of drinking water into Trout Lake each year is not resulting in a consistently safe lake for swimming, nor is the continued
use of drinking water sustainable during our increasingly hot and dry summers. Vancouver’s Greenest City Action Plan and Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water Conservation Plan call for us to reduce our consumption of drinking water, including in our civic facilities and parks like John Hendry Park.
