Ranking Nat Bailey as a park is weird, because it’s a concrete heritage site where you can’t do 95% of the things you associate with a park.

#176: Point Grey Park Site at Stephens
This park site is slightly better than most of the Point Grey Road parks due to the more head-on view of the mountains, a couple more benches that are closer to the view, and a patch of land that has a few more gentle slopes for games of bocce.
#177: McGill Park
While a decent use of a sloping space, the park itself is fairly minimal.
#178: Point Grey Park Site at Trafalgar
The easternmost of the Point Grey Road parks, this one has a number of benches where you can get wonderful views of Stanely Park and English Bay, plus there’s a picnic table that was installed a few years ago.
#179: Elm Park
Less an actual park and more a collection of sports facilities, Elm has tennis courts, a lawn bowling club, washrooms and a baseball field. And that’s it.
#180: Westmount Park
Westmount is another one of the city’s underdeveloped triangular parks, this one on a fairly steep hill.
#182: Oxford Park
There’s a small but adequate playground for toddlers on this side hill, although there are plenty of reports of the rubber bottom turning hot and putrid during a heat wave.
#183: McCleery Golf Course
McCleery is the least interesting of the public golf courses: formerly a family farm, the course is mostly flat and plain from a topographic standpoint.
#184: Rosemary Brown Park
The playground is only intended for the smallest of toddlers, and there are much larger and more interesting parks directly north and west.
#185: Deering Island Park
A small green space next to the road transitions to a walking path next to the water for 70 metres or so.
