About
Tucked away on The North Shore Edge, Little Cates Park is a quiet waterfront retreat often overshadowed by its larger neighbour, Cates Park. Overlooking Burrard Inlet, this small but charming green space offers panoramic water views, a rocky beach teeming with sea life, and a playground designed with toddlers in mind. Families love the peaceful setting, with far fewer crowds than nearby Cates Park and a unique “castle” play structure—remnants of an old mill foundation—that fuels kids’ imaginations. With dedicated pickleball courts and easy beach access, this hidden gem is a favourite for both families and active visitors looking for a relaxed, scenic escape.
Special Features
Little Cates Park features four dedicated pickleball courts, with a lockbox (code: 7425) providing access to nets. Players are reminded to secure all equipment when finished. The toddler-friendly playground includes baby swings, low climbing structures, slides, and a spring-mounted ride-on horse, while older kids can enjoy the taller slide, regular swings, and the “castle” for imaginative play. The waterfront location provides stunning views of Burrard Inlet, with easy access to a rocky beach where visitors may spot sea stars at low tide. Picnic tables and open grass areas offer space for outdoor meals, though parking is limited—early arrival is recommended. Restrooms are available, and a scenic walking trail connects the park to Cates Park for those looking to extend their visit.
