On the tip of Squamish’s once-inaccessible Oceanfront Peninsula, something extraordinary has taken shape: Sp’akw’us Feather Park, a coastal commons twenty years in the making.

Developed through a partnership between Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), the District of Squamish, and Matthews West, this 11-acre waterfront park isn’t just a green space, it’s a landmark of cultural renewal and environmental stewardship.

The park’s design speaks through story. Sculptures by acclaimed artists James Harry and Maskull Lasserre anchor the landscape, while a playground co-designed with Indigenous youth brings oral traditions of the land to life. Surrounding it, gardens, gathering lawns, and slackline stations invite every visitor into movement and reflection. The sound stage lawn and outdoor classrooms forecast a future rich in community programming and shared celebration.

But beyond the amenities lies deeper infrastructure. Built atop reclaimed and remediated land, Sp’akw’us Feather Park incorporates a seismic berm and climate-resilient grading—an act of foresight befitting the long horizon of Squamish’s evolving waterfront.

As the first realized space in the 60-acre Oceanfront Squamish masterplan, the park signals a new era: one where Indigenous leadership and local development move forward together—honouring land, history, and people in equal measure.

Here, you don’t just step into a park. You step into a vision becoming real.
