#115: Killarney Park
Another example of a community centre with underutilized outdoor potential.
#116: Devonshire Park
A quiet meadow in the southern part of Shaughnessy, Devonshire is a large field with not much else happening.
#117: Volunteer Park
Volunteer Park is easily the best of the Point Grey Road pocket parks, mostly for the fact that it’s simply the biggest, taking up what would be three or four housing lots instead of one or two.
#118: Fraserview Golf Course
Ask people what the best public golf course in the city is, and few will say something other than Fraserview.
#119: Balaclava Park
Your mileage will vary, mostly based on how many miles you like running.
#120: William Mackie Park
There are good bones here, and with the park board committing to an upgrade, (including new playgrounds and a washroom) there’s potential it could become a top-tier tiny park.
#121: Charles Park
It’s a unique peaceful park that achieves what it’s trying to do, and must be lovely for those working or living nearby for a quiet lunch spot.
#122: Tea Swamp Park
A small park that opened in 1986, Tea Swamp’s name comes from the wild labrador tea that flourished around the giant bog that used to sit around 17th and Sophia.
#123: Earles Park
Admittedly, Earles is a fairly simple park.
