What to Bring & Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- 💡
The playground is borderline theme-park quality - plan to spend time here with kids

The cedar mulch jogging path is softer on joints than pavement - great for regular runners

Cricket pitches are a rare find in Vancouver - check with local cricket clubs for pickup games

Wading pool gets busy on hot summer days - arrive early
- 💡
Street parking can be tight on weekends - consider transit via the 15 or 17 bus
