With so many parks in the city, it’s inevitable that some of them will need more TLC than others, but it’s particularly noticeable at Thunderbird Park, where exposed rust permeates through the 1980s play structure, and the noise from cars on Hastings heading to Highway 1 roars through the trees.

With a small field and a few trees, it’s certainly possible we have underrated (slightly) this park, but the lack of amenities outside the dying playstructure left us with disappointment, so here it sits. A shame, given the affordable rental apart structures that surround it.
