Located west of Kitsilano, this area consists of a sandy beach and a public park. Visitors go here for outdoor activities, including picnicking on the grassy lawns, walking around the pond, or engaging in water sports. The presence of a yacht club makes it a hub for sailing and kayaking.

Allow 2 to 4 hours to explore the park, walk along the shoreline, and relax on the lawns. Those participating in water sports may require a full day.
