Island 22 Regional Park is 45 hectares in size and supports equestrian and boat launch facilities. Jumps, including a water jump, riding ring and corrals make up the equestrian part of the park. Several equestrian events take place annually at the park. The boat launch, one of the largest in the Lower Mainland, is able to support over a dozen simultaneous launchings and can park about 100 trucks and trailers. This launch is located on the Fraser River and is 15 minutes from the mouth of the Harrison River. Many people enjoy walking the trails scattered throughout the park and seeing what nature has to offer. An incredible amount of migratory birds move through the park in the late summer providing excellent viewing opportunities. Many bald eagles perch in the park's trees during the winter months. Often, one can spot a harbour seal swimming in the river and if very lucky, see a white sturgeon jump. A large designated dog off-leash area allows dogs to run and play with more freedom in the old campsite area of the park.
