#23: Riverfront Park

Built a couple decades before Vancouver started developing the River District in earnest, Riverfront has gained a reputation as a hidden gem, based on being one of the quieter waterfront green areas in the city.

#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.

#80: Sparwood Park

Sparwood is never going to be a destination unto itself, which means local residents will get to appreciate its charms all to themselves.

#82: Bobolink Park

A good well-proportioned park, in an area of the city without a lot of them. Even if the name doesn’t make a lick of sense.

#111: Killarney Park

Another example of a community centre with underutilized outdoor potential.

#116: Fraserview Golf Course

Ask people what the best public golf course in the city is, and few will say something other than Fraserview.

#126: Upper River District Park

There’s a small but very good playground with a treehouse theme at the top, and there’s even a little rock climbing wall as well.

#129: Champlain Heights Park

The city has been promising an upgrade to the playground for a while now; that it’s been delayed for more than four years while more than a dozen parks in other parts of the city have gotten an upgrade might speak to the geographical inequities of Vancouver.

#160: 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.

#165: 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.
