#2: Trout Lake

There are 10 or 15 places in Vancouver where you can look at the mountains and the oceans and the towers in one fell swoop and be reminded why you fell in love with this ridiculous city in the first place.

There’s only one Trout Lake.

#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.
