#49: Grays Park
Grays Park is a fascinating and fun example of what happens when a community takes over the purpose of a park from a government.
#51: Brewers Park
An extensive renovation of Brewers means it’s essentially a different park now, with only the small soccer field on the far west side remaining from what it once was. And it’s a change for the better.
#72: Cedar Cottage Park
Reopening in early October 2020 after extensive renovations, Cedar Cottage is a redesigned park done right.
#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.
#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.
#91: Jones Park
It’s still a big green space with a good playground in a busy area of the city. But given the extensive work put into the upgrade, it feels like a missed opportunity.
#129: General Brock Park
A very average park, and in a neighbourhood with so many good parks like Kensington-Cedar Cottage, actually underwhelming.
