#61: 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?

#62: Sun Yat-Sen Garden

What we can say is Sun Yat-Sen Garden is an incredibly peaceful place to be.

#63: 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

#64: Sunrise Park

Some parks you look at and wonder where they got their name. Sunrise offers no such surprises.

#65: Templeton Park

It’s a nicely balanced park, one that doesn’t try to be too much, but is always well populated for a reason.

#66: CRAB Park

The most confusing thing about CRAB park are the pictures of crabs in the spay park.

#67: Coopers’ Park

#68: Robson Park

Few people are going to rave about Robson Park, but the 111-year-old park has pretty much everything one needs.

#69: Ash Park

With such a growing population in the area, there’s a need for an excellent community gathering space, and we think Ash stands a good chance of filling that need.

#70: Emery Barnes Park

It’s a slightly above-average generic downtown park, the sort you would fully expect to see in any large metropolis
