#22: Norquay Park

Norquay is an example of how a few smart renovations can make an old park feel fresh, evolving with the needs of a neighbourhood — even it’s named for a 19th century politician from another province.

#31: Beaconsfield Park

The pizza oven is one of the big reasons that Beaconsfield, just south of Grandview Highway and Slocan, is a touch above most “fields and playground” parks in the city.

#40: Renfrew Community Park

Renfrew Community is one of those places that is more a laundry list of things you can do than a fully integrated park, but those things are all very solid.

#47: Aberdeen Park

It’s all an example of how a mid-sized urban park can be built in the 21st century, and how it doesn’t need to be anywhere near downtown to be successful.

#83: Renfrew Ravine Park

In the midst of all of Vancouver’s treasures at the water’s edge, Renfrew Ravine is a nice inland surprise.

#91: Slocan Park

Slocan is a good but not great park, especially now that it’s gotten a million-dollar upgrade of its grass fields.

#93: Collingwood Park

Collinwood Park screams out the 1970s: a crunchier era of Vancouver, less grand but quickly growing.

#107: Gaston Park

Gaston is not especially good at expectorating, but is dominated by a single baseball field, with a small ridge surrounding the park making the area seem more expansive than it actually is.

#110: Carleton Park

Nothing in Carleton is particularly exciting, but all of it is good, particularly for a park that doesn’t try to do too much.

#121: Earles Park

Admittedly, Earles is a fairly simple park.
