Obtained in 2004 as a donation from the Chilliwack River Valley Ratepayers Association, Thompson Park is a focal point for recreational activities in the Chilliwack River Valley. A short loop trail with informative signage circles a salmon restoration project. Parking is plentiful with accommodations for RV parking. A large picnic shelter, washrooms and a trail to the Chilliwack/Vedder River round out the park.
