Community Parks

Townsend Park is a 15 hectare park west of downtown Chilliwack. The park is named after Harold Townsend, who lived and farmed this land until 1946 when the City purchased it and began the process of developing a major public sports facility for ball sports and general leisure.

The park is equipped with a play area, change rooms, concession, washrooms and other amenities. The Wolfe family washroom is open from dawn to dusk. This outdoor facility also has a walking trail around its perimeter, which is approximately 2.3 km in length.

Park bookings can be made by contacting the Recreation and Culture Department at 604-793-2904.

This complex contains 5 multipurpose pitches, three of which are lit; and six lit softball diamonds.

Fields 3, 4, 5 and 6 all radiate out from washrooms, concession and a pavilion with seating for 80 people. These fields have lighting available on request. Fields 1 and 2 also have lighting and bleachers available. This ball field group is easily accessed from the west parking area.
