It’s fun. Low-key. A good example of how a small plot of concrete can be turned into a decent gathering space, for however long it lasts.

#152: May & Lorne Brown Park
The undisputed highlight of the park is a hilariously long table befit for a medieval castle, with marble in the middle and a backing for the chair eight feet high.
#153: Winona Park
This sprawling park just off Cambie and 59th is another example of how large parks in south Vancouver seem to be only half thought out.
#154: Swingview Park
It’s technically called “Park Site on Trinity Street”, but online it’s called “Swingview Park”, for the very simple reason that there are four swings, and they provide a view.
#155: Dusty Greenwell Park
Aside from being a helpful off-leash dog area, it’s objectively not the greatest use of such a large waterfront space.
#156: McAuley Park
A small space that packs a punch in other words, even if the only reason to really be there is for the stuff around it.
#157: Arbutus Village Park
Few parks in the city have a slow-moving and developer-heavy origin story quite like Arbutus Village Park.
#158: Sahalli Park
A smallish park just a block north of Broadway and Fraser, the highlight of Sahalli is a rambling community garden on its east size.
#159: Major Matthews Park
The park occupies a former single-family lot on Manitoba just off 11th Avenue, and has a small modern playground good for 3 to 6-year olds.
#160: Art Phillips Park
It’s a nice honour for an important person, and a good place to have lunch and consider how the city has changed.
