Why 184 Street matters for Walnut Grove families
The 184 Street station sits on the eastern end of the Fleetwood corridor of the Surrey-Langley extension, close to the Surrey-Langley municipal boundary. For families living in Walnut Grove, Willoughby, and the eastern edge of Fleetwood / Tynehead, this will be the nearest SkyTrain stop heading west into Surrey Central and Vancouver.
How close are we?
Both Pixel Wonderland Academy locations on 163A Street between 88 and 92 Avenue sit roughly 2.5–3.0 km west of the planned 184 Street SkyTrain station. By car, that's typically a 6–9 minute drive depending on traffic on Fraser Highway. We are not in easy walking distance of this station — the practical commute pattern is a vehicle drop-off here followed by driving to the station and parking.
Practical commute pattern
- From Walnut Grove or Willoughby, drive west to 9270 / 9256 163A Street, Fleetwood
- Drop your child with our team (5–10 min)
- Continue east on Fraser Highway to 184 Street Station (6–9 min)
- Board SkyTrain heading west to Surrey Central or downtown
For Walnut Grove families this is often a sensible pattern: rather than continuing the morning commute eastward into Langley to find childcare, drop off in Fleetwood (a residential, calm setting) and re-enter SkyTrain at the same exit point you would use anyway.

What we are not promising
The SkyTrain station is not yet open. Opening dates published by TransLink may shift, and we will update this page as the official timeline changes. We make no claim to influence the project schedule. We do, however, plan to remain in Fleetwood when the line opens.
