Oceanfront Park Trail Closure

Summer 2023 update: Significant progress is being made at the Oceanfront Squamish Development, with heavy construction activities concentrated at the southern end of the peninsula. For the safety of both the public and workers on-site, it is essential to note that there are significant areas that remain inaccessible to the public.  Visit the Oceanfront Squamish website for full details. 

Matthews West anticipates that park will open to the public in the summer of 2024.

 

Newport Beach Developments has shared the following Oceanfront Development Update:

In anticipation of building the last phase of the Oceanfront Main Road and the Presentation Centre, Matthews West will be mobilizing construction crews on site for the initial stages of construction; clearing and grubbing of trees and debris, driftwood removal and preloading.

Some areas of the Oceanfront and the Oceanfront Trail will be closed from time to time in order to keep the public safe and to complete the work in a timely manner. Keeping in mind how well loved and busy this area and the walking trail are, Matthews West will make every effort to ensure public access, where and when appropriate. Length of construction is anticipated to be from January- April 2021, at which time the main beach will be closed and there will be intermittent gate closures on the north and south ends of the walking trail. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the public during this time, by adhering to trail and park closures, in order to ensure everyone’s safety.
Matthews West looks in anticipation toward the future, to the completion of the Oceanfront Park, and is thankful to the community of Squamish in their efforts to realize this shared vision.
