If you haven’t already noticed, Robson Park is undergoing a major transformation. Although not technically part of St. Helen’s Park, it is bordering our neighbourhood and many residents take advantage of it, so we thought we would post some information regarding the updates. According to the City of Surrey website:

“Salmon Habitat In The City!  In the summer and fall of 2009, the City of Surrey is undertaking the restoration of Robson Creek as it flows through Robson Park in Whalley.  The planned improvements include the re-grading of the stream channel, re-vegetation of the stream banks and creation of rearing ponds for salmon. The restoration will drastically improve downstream water quality and provide rearing habitat for salmon in the park.  Concurrently, the park active areas will be renovated including a new playground, walking loop, disc golf course, soccer fields and parking lot.  Improvements are intended to update the park facilities, increase use and improve safety in the park.  The park upgrades will occur through 2009 and 2010. The Robson Park Master Plan was presented at a Public Open House on March 16^th, 2009 and to the Parks and Community Services Committee in April 2009. For a copy of the plan please click here.
