Cates Park, known by its traditional Tsleil-Waututh name, Whey-ah-Wichen—“Faces the Wind”—is a vibrant waterfront park on The North Shore Edge. Stretching six kilometers along Burrard Inlet, it is a place where nature and history intertwine. Visitors can walk along scenic trails shaded by coastal evergreens, relax on a sandy beach, or launch into the calm waters by kayak or boat. The park carries deep cultural significance as the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, with totem poles and interpretive signage sharing its Indigenous heritage. Whether it’s a quiet stroll, a family picnic, or an afternoon on the water, Whey-ah-Wichen offers a dynamic escape just minutes from the city.
