Location: Jericho Beach Park
Meet at the grassy area by the Jericho East parking lot and Jericho pond.

Accessibility: CART captioning and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters will be present. There is an accessible washroom in the concession building. *Note that the event takes place on grassy areas / dirt paths.

Bring: Your own water bottle, walking/running shoes, and a spirit of fun!

Walk2Hear will take place rain or shine. Please check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.

Getting There:
Note: The City of Vancouver tell us there will be some filming taking place in the South part of Jericho Park on the same days as Walk2Hear. As a result the Jericho East Parking lot may be busier than usual, so we recommend carpooling if you can, coming by bus or bike, or arriving a bit early this year.
Driving – Parking available at the Jericho East EasyPark paid lot, access off 4th Ave. or Point Grey Road. Some street parking in the area – check the street signage.
Cycling – Bike rack near the concession/washrooms building.
Transit – Type “Jericho East EasyPark” into Translink’s Trip Planner to find the best route from your location. The closest bus stop is a 5 minute walk away, at 4th Ave. and Wallace St. on the number 4 route. There are various other stops within a 10 minute walk.
