#163: Point Grey Road Park
Not only does it give a beautiful view, if you’re prepared enough you could probably set up a unique picnic.
#176: Point Grey Park Site at Stephens
This park site is slightly better than most of the Point Grey Road parks due to the more head-on view of the mountains, a couple more benches that are closer to the view, and a patch of land that has a few more gentle slopes for games of bocce.
#178: Point Grey Park Site at Trafalgar
The easternmost of the Point Grey Road parks, this one has a number of benches where you can get wonderful views of Stanely Park and English Bay, plus there’s a picnic table that was installed a few years ago.
#184: Rosemary Brown Park
The playground is only intended for the smallest of toddlers, and there are much larger and more interesting parks directly north and west.
#206: Seaforth Peace Park
There’s a few interesting sculptures to look at, but as a park it’s incredibly noisy given its proximity to the bridge. And there’s no amenities for kids, or enough space to do much but have lunch.
#215: Jean Beaty Park
The park itself is a little smaller than the other waterfront pocket parks, with two paths limiting the amount of green space.
