Special Events and Activities
Special Events and ActivitiesPartners in Parks Special Events: Public Family Programming:
Organized by the City of Surrey Partners in Parks, the intent behind family programming is to have parents or caregivers and children participate in self-guided activities throughout the garden. The goal is to spark an interest, appreciation and connection to Darts Hill Garden Park in younger families so they will continue to engage with the garden for years to come.
Live Music Programming:
Organized by the City of Surrey Partners in Parks, the intent behind live music in the garden once per month is to provide an outdoor music experience in a casual way that can be enjoyed while wandering throughout the garden. Music will be projected via speakers on 100 foot cables from a central location by the pond. Exact locations to be determined.
Dates of our 2022 Special Events and Activities appear on our calendar.
