About the Park

This small urban oasis offers many pleasant seating areas for eating lunch, reading a paper, or playing a game of chess. A fast-flowing stream culminates in a tiered fountain surrounded by pergolas and lush plantings. When the bright flowers of the summer have faded, mosaics in the streambed and next to the pathway continue to add colour throughout the winter. Recently the park has expanded and now includes a new playground area as well as a fenced dog off leash area. There will be another expansion coming in the future, when the commercial buildings located at the corner of Richards and Davie.

Walking distance to Yaletown restaurants, shops, sky train and marina.

History
