There’s a small flat field passable for T-Ball or children’s soccer, a few benches, a playground and a few tall trees for shade.

#162: Captain Cook Park
It’s good for a light jog, and can make a person living anywhere in the centre of the city jealous at all the nearby mini forests in this neighbourhood.
#163: Point Grey Road Park
Not only does it give a beautiful view, if you’re prepared enough you could probably set up a unique picnic.
#164: Price Park
Our score of exactly 20/40 reflects a general “it’s fine” attitude for Price and what it tries to be.
#165: Hillcrest Park
The baseball fields are good, but the soccer fields have some drainage issues, the playground is very minuscule, the shade is non-existence and there’s a surprising lack of a walking/biking path through the immense and endless fields.
#166 W.C. Shelley Park
A small but adequate playground for kids around 3 to 6 is in the middle of the park, with garden planters and benches surrounding it.
#167: Mont Royal Square
The highlight is unquestionably the large fountain at the north end, where water sprays 15 feet into the air from a massive rock.
#168: McCleery Park
Another small undeveloped triangle park in the city’s west side, we admit to enjoying McCleery a little more than perhaps we objectively should.
#169: Downtown Skate Park
“It’s a skate park for people into skateboarding. If you like that then this place is for you.”
#170: Cariboo Park
Cariboo, a small park along 29th Avenue, has a lot of good elements (including a pond, playground and shaded field) that don’t fully come together.
