#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.
#94: Oppenheimer Park
Overall, Oppenheimer does enough things for a wide amount of people that it’s hard to fault too much, and it certainly meets the needs for many in the community.

A neat little use of public space, this was created in the 1970s after a protracted squabble between council and the park board.
