A small strip of grass between Langara College and the parking lot for Langara Golf Course, Langara Park is a pleasant enough space to throw a frisbee or have a picnic in between classes, but little else.

#218: Thornton Park
One of the older parks in Vancouver, Thornton could conceivably be a vibrant park. It isn’t.
#219: Kinross Ravine Park
A tremendously weird and underutilized space, Kinross Ravine is a mid-sized plot of land on a steep slope.
#220: Roundhouse Turntable Plaza
It’s an interesting place to wait while you pick someone up from the community centre.
#221: Carolina Park
If you live in an apartment nearby, with a small kid, and have minimal expectations? It does its job passably.
#222: Wendy Poole Park
The lack of amenities and small size means it is rarely used — perhaps emblematic of our continued ability to raise up symbols, and then move on without further work done.
#223: Willow Park
A small parklet with no real interesting features, Willow Park serves the purposes of being green space in an area between Oak, Cambie, Broadway and 6th Avenue that has precious little of it.
#224: Fraser River Trail
If you’re interested in a picnic date next to a bridge, a river and about 200 buses, it’s for you.
#225: Minipark @ Jervis & Burnaby
The Jervis and Burnaby minipark is innocuous, but it has a number of nice benches, some pleasant overhanging trees, and on a sunny day a view of English Bay.
#226: Quadra West Park
Answering the question “what if you had a piece of land with a beautiful view and did nothing to improve it?”, Quadra West continues our theme of underutilized pieces of land on the city’s west side.
