Seaforth Peace Park

This is "just" a green space in a busy area, so nice to have, but nothing particularly spectacular.

Its besides the bike path of Burrard street. It nearby to residents and businesses. Its a decent green space nothing to exciting here. Its got path ways, benches, green spaces, no washrooms here. Its a chill green space. Its nearby to bus stops and the Burrard street bridge.

Seaworthy Peace Park is located adjacent to Burrard St & Chestnut St and between Cornwall Ave and West 1st Ave. The Park refers to the association with the Seaforth Armoury across Burrard St to the east and it is also associated with the Canadian Peace Parks.there is a feature in the park created by Sam Carter, an artist, to commentate the WWII bombing of Hiroshima…there are benches present to relax and possibly enjoy your lunch, but there is substantial traffic present.the attention to reflect on peace in our world is present. Kitsilano Beach, Vanier Park and Granville Island are all just a walk away from this park.

Walks lined with delicate ornamental trees provide an interesting contrast to the substantial architecture of the surrounding Burrard Street Bridge, Molson Brewery, and Seaforth Armoury. The sunny plaza is a pleasant place to enjoy lunch.

Originally this property was part of the Kitsilano Indian Reserve and was eyed as parkland from the early 1920s. It was a park by 1949 though there is no exact date for the official dedication. It is named for the nearby Seaforth Armory. In July 1986 the Park Board approved a fountain memorial to commemorate the August 6,1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Artist Sam Carter created a water-filled bronze cauldron resting on granite containing an eternal flame, a major feature of the park.

In the 1992 Seaforth Park officially joined the ranks of Peace Parks across Canada during a moving ceremony which included local school children with their specially crafted peace quilt and the planting of 12 Cercidiphyllum trees (Katsura) creating a peace grove at the park's southern end. It's new name became Seaforth Peace Park.

Little too many guys who utilize this park for personal trainings. Dirty with leftover food and packages.

Nice playground in a beautiful setting. Some traffic noise, but vehicles safely separated from park. Nice water feature (drained in cold weather).

Great park for lunch time or after work. Great views and wonderful bridge to look at. Grounds pretty good.
Would be nice to turn on the water fountain.

Go see the new Xmas decorations error nice especially for kids big or small to pose with illuminated Teddy bear, whale and tree.

What a great spot to take a brake from work or from walking across the bridge. Across the street is the Molson beer Brewery and the Seaforth Armory. Also a short walk from the fish market and Grandville Market. So walk across the bridge take a break and then push onto the Market for a fun day in Vancouver.

Lots of traffic on Burrard Street and very noisy. Not the best location for a park. Beautiful blossoms in the spring
