** Whey-Ah-Wichen/Cates Park will be undergoing a series of park improvements, so the picnic shelter is unavailable for rentals starting July 28, 2025 for the duration of construction **
Located in the Dollarton area of the District, this seaside park has a variety of amenities, including 6km of waterfront trails, playgrounds, picnic shelter, beaches, tennis courts, and a year-round boat launch. The Cates Park picnic shelter is located next to the boat launch, has beach access, and is a short walk away from the playground and washrooms. The parking lot is accessed off Dollarton Hwy and has multiple small parking lots, the closest of which to the shelter can be found just after the paid boat launch parking lot.
