What people say

People like:
Reviewers mention community atmosphere, benches and the totem pole.
It's a small little park a few benches but it's been there forever right in the heart of downtown Eastside
Google reviewer
This place is listed right downtown Vancouver so it's not recommended to bring your children other than that it is a great place to sit and just enjoy the sunshine on your face it does have a big totem pole there and a pizza joint just…
