Jericho Beach

It is surrounded by Jericho Beach Park, a grassy area with a pond, which is a picnic destination.

The first is that it derived from Jeremiah Rogers, a successful lumberman in the area; the area's name came to be "Jericho" as a corruption of either "Jerry's cove" or "Jerry& Co."[2][3] Alternatively, the name is from Jericho Charlie, Shenáwtsut, who owned a cedar long house on these lands.

Also, there are lifeguards on duty for beach safety from late May to early September.

It is home to the Jericho Works Yard for the Vancouver Parks Board, a youth hostel, the annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival and the Jericho Sailing Centre.

The park includes a pond, a tennis court, and many picnic areas.
