Route passes by Memorial Park, the Fraser River & South Arm marshes along residential streets.

  2.  Pioneers and Essential Workers Walk 5k, 6k, 10k (rating 1B):

       Start Point: PARKING LOT outside Ricky’s & Famoso

      Description: Come to Ladner and experience the residential, historical, and community infrastructures of this small community.  You will pass by a hospital, community centre, firehall and last but not least, an active Augustinian monastery.  Historic structures include the Harris Barn and Kirkland House.  Notably, the “Forest of the Future” Garden was funded by a pair of Volkssporting pioneers.  This is one of the most diverse walks offered in South Delta. The 6k route is the Pioneers Walk and the 5k route is the Essential Workers Walk.

3.  Parks Walk 6k, 7k, 10k (rating 1B):

     Start Point: Parking Lot, Ladner Harbour Park, 4905 Mcneelys Way

     Description: You will take a perimeter route that borders the scenic Fraser River Estuary. As you exit the park, proceed along Ferry Rd to the South Arm Marshes where a little bit of unexpected magic awaits you. This route also passes through Ernie Burnett Park & a rare gem of nature known only to locals so it has yet to be named. Truly, a “magical” walk!

4. Wellington Point Park **New in 2026** 7k & 10k (rating 1B):

 Start Point: PARKING LOT outside Ricky’s & Famoso

Description:  Come and enjoy some outstanding Fraser River views as we walk the Ladner dyke all the way from Lions Park to Wellington Point. There is lots to see and plenty of history on this walk as we pass by the Historic Fisherman’s Hall (est. 1943) as well as a plaque honoring the founder of Ladner Village. Have you ever wondered what life is like in a floating home? Now is your chance to find out because we walk through the Ladner Reach Marina – home to 29 float homes with “to die for” views and a great sense of community.  Finally, the “showpiece” of the walk; namely Wellington Point Pier and boat launch. On a clear day, take in the river, wetland and mountain views – you won’t be disappointed!
