#53: MacLean Park

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
