Great question… the King George Corridor consists of the area east of Highway 99 from Highway 91 in the north, down to the Peace Arch Provincial Park at the USA border in the south. The west side runs along 160th Street to 16th Avenue, over to 152nd Street and up to King George Boulevard and back up to Highway 91.
Schools along the King George Corridor
There are numerous educational opportunities for kids of all ages, from pre-schools, elementary schools to high schools, with several private school options available as well just a short drive away. Earl Marriott Secondary School is the largest high school in the area providing great programs and opportunities in a large variety of subjects and draws students from a large catchment area. The drawback to EMS, as its known, is the overcrowding problems caused by rapid population growth in the area. Fortunately a new high school is planned for nearby Grandview Heights which will improve the situation and provide more education opportunities for students in the area.

Peace Arch Provincial Park located at the US border is one of the most unique parks in the area. Dedicated in 1921, Peace Arch Park is unique in the world in that it was the first park that straddled two countries. It was built on the International Boundary between Canada and the United States to commemorate the lasting peace between the two countries. Today the park provides opportunities for walking, indoor and outdoor picnicking and a playground for children. The park entrance and parking area are located off of Beach Drive (behind the Peace Arch duty free store).
Sunnyside Park on 26th Avenue is a great neighbourhood park with a large grassy field, an outdoor pool which is popular in the summer months, tennis courts, sports fields and softball diamonds, and a newer playground for the younger kids.
