It has a Centennial Beach, a popular sandy beach. During low tide, a huge area of water disappears, revealing wet sand and occasional sections ankle deep water that enable you to walk quite far out into Boundary Bay. There is also great birdwatching park as an internationally recognized Important Bird Area on the Pacific Flyway.
A migratory bird sanctuary that is protect by the Government of Canada. Visitors are able to see a wide variety of birds in the wild. There is a fee to access the trails of the park (unlike Boundary Bay Regional Park, which has free access). Delta often wins the annual bird count for the most species of birds observed, so either of these parks are great places for bird-lovers. No dogs or bicycles.
