Following local residential concern in 2004 surrounding a section of the park known as Colebrook Pit, the City has been collaboratively developing a new vision for Joe Brown Park. Colebrook Pit was a former city-owned quarry and designated to be restored as parkland.
Joe Brown Park is unique in the city in that it is one of the few public equestrian areas in Surrey.
The new plan, to be completed over the next ten years, is prominently focused on nature-based uses. It will include a section of the Serpentine Greenway, as well as other recreational trails, equestrian trailers, viewpoints, and habitat management and enhancement areas. A newly formed terraced mound will maximize ocean views from the highest point in the park. Most of the western portion of the park should be upgraded within five years.
