Obviously there’s not much to do except walk from one side to the other, but the novelty of it is super enjoyable.

#135: Langara Golf Course
The course itself is a nice parkland route, its wide fairways and short yardages making it very playable for the average golfer, but multi-level greens giving enough of a challenge for experts.
#136: Nanaimo Park
Any discussion of Nanaimo Park has to begin with its playground: one of the newer ones in the city, it is excellent for kids around 5-9 or so.
#137: Marpole Park
Marpole is underwhelming, and so are its parks.
#138: Kerrisdale Centennial Park
While most parks surrounding community centres are large and a mishmash of different amenities, the ambitions for Kerrisdale are decidedly modest.
#139: Ross Park
Ross is essentially a “starter pack” of Vancouver parks.
#140: Sutcliffe Park
This is a weirdly disjointed area directly south of Granville Island, with some nice plants and few pieces of art, but not much to do.
#141: Gladstone-Riverside Park
Just go in knowing it’s more of a simple walking trail and less of a full park, and you’ll have a good time.
#142: Strathcona Linear Park
A neat little use of public space, this was created in the 1970s after a protracted squabble between council and the park board.
#143: Granville Loop Park
A mix of elements that don’t quite come together, Granville Loop is on the south end of the Granville Bridge, meaning there’s a constant blaring of noise from cars and buses passing by at high speeds.
