Lilly's Garden -
On Highway 99 just prior
to turning into the Squamish Village town centre is a small floral
garden identified by a wooden bridge and a large rock monument named
Lily's Park. Both park markers can be seen from the highway.
The garden park is a small area sandwiched
between the shores of the Mamquam Blind Channel and
Highway 99. It is an easily accessible park and an ideal destination
for garden lovers and people interested in walking the shoreline
of the local channel.
For all who visit the park they can expect
to view a fine collection of floral gardens, stone sculptures and
lush fauna. The garden beds flourish
in a rainbow of colours like oranges, reds, pinks, purples and yellows.
To view the garden beds the park consists of
a few small stone and dirt pathways twisting amongst the flower
beds. Along the paths are various points where some stone carved
benches have been placed making viewing of the gardens more enjoyable.
Besides the floral displays onsite, the gardens
are also slightly decorated with stone ornaments and rock gardens.
The main stone monument in the park is located at the entrance.
The large stone monument marks the park as the home site of Lily
and George Carson.
The small park's trails eventually hook up
with Rose Park to the south
and Loggers Lane in the north.
Park Access - Approaching the Squamish
Village from the south following Highway 99, just prior to turning
into the town centre via Cleveland Ave, look to your right and there
is Lily's Park just off the highway. Park your vehicle on Loggers
Lane Road or nearby and walk to the gardens stone monument entrance
via a wooden footbridge.
