About Bear Creek

Bear Creek is defined by its park — a 60+ acre green space that is one of the most unique neighbourhood parks in Metro Vancouver. Bear Creek Park has a miniature train ride, mini-golf, a free outdoor swimming pool, a water spray park, a skate park, a climbing wall, nature trails with salmon viewing and eagle nests, and sports fields. No other Surrey neighbourhood has this concentration of free family recreation.

The surrounding residential area is a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments with a diverse, multicultural community. Green Timbers Urban Forest borders the area to the south, adding even more green space. Surrey Central SkyTrain station is walkable (about 20 minutes) or reachable by several bus routes. Bear Creek Market at 140th Street handles daily shopping needs, with Guildford Town Centre and Whalley's commercial strip both nearby.
