Bella Vista Neighborhood Park (1911 SE Bella Vista Rd.) is getting a new playground! This 5.3-acre park serves the Bella Vista neighborhood in east Vancouver.

The community chose the theme “Fantasy Forest” for the playground. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the design open house at the park on Saturday, Sept. 19 or completed the online survey!

Park developers are using the responses gathered in-person and online to create the final playground design. We hope to share it with you later this winter.

Project overview

Installed in 1999, the play equipment at Bella Vista Neighborhood Park is in poor condition. It does not meet current ADA standards and will become a safety concern if it is not replaced. In 2027, Vancouver Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services will replace the play equipment to better serve the surrounding neighborhoods.

The budget for this project is focused on replacing the play equipment in the existing playground location. The project may include adding a few additional amenities like benches, picnic tables, bike racks and trash cans. It will not include other updates to the park.
