Liquor Consumption in Parks Pilot Program

The City is conducting the Liquor Consumption in Parks Pilot Program which will allow responsible consumption of liquor in designated areas in following three parks:

  • Aberdeen Neighbourhood Park
  • Garry Point Park
  • King George/Cambie Community Park.

Residents will be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage in these parks between 11:00am–9:00pm daily, until September 30, 2023.

In each of these parks, there is a designated “Liquor Permitted Consumption Zone” where alcoholic beverages may be consumed. For more information on the location of these zones in each park included in the pilot program, please review the pilot project site signage.
