Second Beach Park has always been a gathering place, but for years its northern field sat waterlogged and unusable for much of the year. Through the vision of the Vancouver Parks Board, and with Landesign’s expertise, the space was reimagined into a vibrant, functional landscape that welcomes visitors in every season.
We reshaped the land to create a gentle rise, improved drainage to keep the field dry, and introduced pathways, play areas, and seating that encourage connection and activity. Surrounded by mature trees, lush turf, and thoughtful plantings, the park now offers a balance of recreation and natural beauty.
For Landesign, this project was about more than solving a site problem — it was about giving the community a space that feels alive, accessible, and enduring.
Imported and placed several hundred truckloads of structural fill to regrade the site into a gentle slope
- Installed an underground drainage system with manholes connected to the City storm network
- Built asphalt pathways and roadways for improved access
- Installed new playground equipment
- Constructed up-stand concrete walls, stairs, and granite masonry walls
- Installed a fully automated irrigation system to ensure long-term plant health
- Placed engineered topsoil for optimal growing conditions
- Planted mature trees to provide shade and ecological value
- Completed hydroseeding to establish a dense, resilient turf area
