Getting Here
17200 Block of 96 Avenue, Surrey, BC
🚇 Transit
Tynehead Park isn't directly on a SkyTrain line, so you'll need to connect via bus from a major hub like Surrey Central Station. It's a classic suburban trek, so check transit schedules in advance, especially for evening or weekend trips.
🚗 Parking
Free parking is a major perk here, with multiple lots accessible from entrances on 96 Avenue and 168 Street. Be prepared for a full house on sunny weekends, when the lots closest to the fish hatchery and main picnic areas fill up quickly.
