#238: Park Site on Trafalgar

It has existed there since at least 1973, and is no doubt enjoyed by people living immediately next to it, but serves no further purpose.

#239: Minipark @ Gilford & Haro

Even the most average parks provide some benefits.

#239: Park Site on Blenheim

Any sense of mysterious wonder that the park could attain, as perhaps a mysterious forested area in the middle of the city, is mitigated by being surrounded by two very large homes.

#241: Eburne Park

Named for one of the first European settlers in what’s now known as Marpole, Eburne Park is most mediocre fully-formed park in the City of Vancouver.

#242: Park Site on Puget Drive

This is really just a tiny trail, awkwardly crammed between two private properties, giving one the feel of sneaking through someone’s backyard to get to a different destination.

#243: Park Site on Quesnel Drive

The Park Board uses the term “Park Site” for pieces of small pieces of land they oversee, but aren’t fully-formed parks, and this is the worst — an overgrown, weedy, traffic median with a couple trees and flowers comprising the smallest attempt possible to make it hospitable to humans.
