No doubt a city needs a few giant sports fields; but Vancouver could also do with a few more MacLeans.

#54: Sunnyside Park
The highlight of the park is something not technically in it: the giant 25-foot high climbing structure that’s between the park and Charles Dickens school.
#55: Lillian To Park
In a short time, it’s arguably developed a reputation as one of the best mini parks in the city, and for good reason.
#56: Everett Crowley Park
It’s a credit to Vancouver to have a place like this, so it almost feels unfair to point its weak spots.
#57: Vanier Park
It’s set up to be a great park. It should be a great park. And yet, Vanier is a big case of squandered potential.
#58: Humm Park
“I never even knew this little gem was near me and I’ve lived a couple blocks away for almost a year.”
#59: 6th and Fir Park
It’s the type of park that makes you lament that Vancouver doesn’t have more small public spaces with a few benches, a few tables, a playground and some grass.
#60: Connaught Park
It may be similar to a lot of large green spaces in the city, but it all adds up to a park that feels well-used, well-loved, and enjoyed for many different reasons. And isn’t that all one can ask for?
#61: Sun Yat-Sen Garden
What we can say is Sun Yat-Sen Garden is an incredibly peaceful place to be.
#62: Arbutus Greenway Park
Arbutus Greenway Park is: 1) a real public park, 2) weirdly not actually part of the Arbutus Greenway, and 3) a place that’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and enjoy parks
