What a lovely park. It's so large with lots of places to walk your dog, watch a soccer game or just chill and read your book on a nice day. There is a huge community garden attached to that pretty much surrounding the entire park. On any weekend there is always family BBQ's and picnics going on in the park. There really is no place to sit, but most people seem to just bring their own chairs and wheel in the cooker.

A nice big Park with tonnes of amenities. Its a great place to take your dog too because you are bound to see a bunch of other dogs there. There is also sports fields so expect there to he a bunch of balls and kids around.

Another large park in Strathcona. This one has several fields, a couple tennis courts, a playground, a skate park, washroom with homeless people, and a covered area. There is also a community garden on the west side. This unique park offers much to its visitors, from skatepark and climbing wall (both added during park restorations in 2004), to community gardens and sports fields. The heart of the park is a charming place to rest or play, while the community gardens and pathways that line the perimeter make for a pleasant stroll. Originally known as False Creek Park (it was situated on what was called False Creek Flats) this site had been the city dump whose horrible smell called for its close in 1939. It was covered in with fill from city owned lots in the Hastings East area. The park was finally seeded in 1947 with drainage, trees and shrubs following the next year. In 1976 a link was created between False Creek Park and MacLean Park – it was named Strathcona Linear Park and False Creek Park was changed to Strathcona Park, named for the surrounding neighbourhood. The Strathcona neighbourhood takes its name from Lord Strathcona, formerly Sir Donald A. Smith, who drove the last spike completing the first transcontinental railway at Craigellachie, British Columbia. He later became Canadian High Commissioner in London.
