A 90s playground with plenty of slides and tunnels and bridges is solid for most, and there’s good use of trees and slopes to separate the different parts of the park.

#105: Alice Townley Park
Well-designed small parks with character are a relatively rare occurrence in the city, and this is a keeper.
#106: Fraserview Park
Fraserview is the type of mid-sized park with a playground, field and a walking track surrounding a perimeter that is rarely paid attention to.
#107: Camosun Park
There’s an old gravel track on the west side, with the trees of Pacific Spirit Park looming in the background, and the easy accessibility to nearby trails from the park is a definite bonus.
#108: Garden Park
It is essentially the Vancouver Special of parks, both in the fact that it seems like it hasn’t been updated since 1983, and that it’s so well used and beloved that its relative specialness is rather besides the point.
#109: Almond Park
Almond Park’s location wedged right up against Alma as cars race up the hill between Broadway and 16th provides its biggest strength and weakness.
#110: Kaslo Park
If we were ranking parks solely for children, Kaslo would be around #35. But the rest of the park is fairly pedestrian.
#111: 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.
#112: Cambie Park
The impressive thing about the park is you barely hear all the noise from the street with the same name, owing to the very tall redwood trees blocking out the noise.
#113: Adanac Park
Adanac Park is another one of our neverending “fields+playground+washroom” parks in this fair city, with a couple things that make it somewhat noteworthy.
