A big flat park in a medium-density east side neighbourhood, Victoria is essentially the Dude Chilling Park of Grandview-Woodland.

#72: Cedar Cottage Park
Reopening in early October 2020 after extensive renovations, Cedar Cottage is a redesigned park done right.
#73: Salsbury Park
“Small park on a steep hill” is not necessarily a recipe for success, and yet Salsbury delivers.
#74: Riverview Park
There’s not too much to Riverview: it’s a big sloping park, with a playground in one corner and a bunch of trees dotted around the green space. But it’s all done extremely well.
#75: Clinton Park
There are 35 parks in the City of Vancouver with a washroom and a big field you can play soccer or baseball on — and of those, Clinton is right around the middle.
#76: Kensington Park
There are few places providing a more panoramic sweep of Vancouver than heading down the hill on Knight Street at 37th Avenue — the full view of the mountains and the port as you enter the core of the city, a reminder of what all the hype is about.
#77: Oak Meadows Park
Oak Meadows is unlike a lot of parks in the city, with a way less formal and designed feel, and is separated out enough that it’s a great place for many groups to hang out.
#78: Chaldecott Park
It’s a lot of nice stuff in a mid-sized space, punctuated by a nice view from the high point of the park on the northeast corner.
#79: Strathcona Park
Perhaps one day a full modernization of Strathcona will be the next chapter in its story of change. For now though, we can only see a park that is very big, with enough to do, but not fully living up to its potential.
#80: Kingcrest Park
Even though there’s nothing exciting about Kingcrest — it’s the last park with no grades of B or better — it’s all done well.
