Lionel Courchene Park

Lionel Courchene Park is located between Johnston Heights Secondary and William F. Davidson Elementary School in Guildford. Parking is available from 99 Avenue and 154 Street.

Lionel Courchene Park features four baseball diamonds, a t-ball diamond, a soccer field and a washroom building. Two of the larger diamonds are equipped with bleachers for league play. The fields are busy in the summer, so be sure to book a field if you are interested in a game or team practice. 

Lionel Courchene Community Gardens

Lionel Courchene Park is home to two community gardens:

• a programmed Growing Roots Community Garden managed by DIVERSEcity that supports the integration of newcomers to Canada; and
• General garden plots available for neighbours, schools and other community partners facilitated by community garden members.

All garden plots are farmed by individual residents, so please be respectful of their efforts.

The Growing Roots Community Garden, along with the Hazelnut Meadows Community Garden, is operated by the non-profit group DIVERSEcity. Both gardens are part of DIVERSEcity's Food Security Program, which provides opportunities for immigrant, refugee and low income families to increase their food security through multicultural cooking groups and community garden activities.

Contact Sasikala Sridar at 604-547-1378 or email garden@dcrs.ca to inquire about plot availability.
