The Park is situated on Sturgeon Banks, surrounded by water on three sides with rocky shores and sandy beaches. Visitors to the Park can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the paved pathway past the Kuno Japanese Garden and the Fisherman's Memorial Needle. Winding along the grassy meadows, fields of lupins and alongside the Fraser River visitors can enjoy beautiful views as well as the dozens of fishing boats coming in and out of Steveston Harbour.

Garry Point Park also encompasses Scotch Pond, a Historic Moorage site for fishing boats which was dredged in the 1950s and connected to the Strait of Georgia. It can be seen along the Park's northern edge with the remnants of the boardwalk used in the early 1900s by the Cannery.
