Victoria Park

Don’t get all the shade (parks should all be close to 10s’, am I right), this place has great shade in all the right places

It was our first time to be in this park. It is nice that the playground is situated along trees. It was a nice park for birthday parties. We attended a party and there were 3 other parties going on. Absolutely nice for gathering

Great playground for toddlers to explore and play. Less options for the older kids. There are washrooms!

This park is clean and nice, but my feelings about it are necessarily tainted by the fact that I had my heart broken there, when things ended with my past lover.

They came. They left. Vancouver hadn't changed after. Yet nothing would be the same. All that remains is dreammaking and strange remembrance. Because this person is embossed on every song that was a hit that spring, in every novel I read during my stay, on anything from the smell of Vancouver rain to the sound of the crows in the afternoon—smells and sounds I’d got used to until then but that had suddenly turned on me and acquired an inflection forever colored by this encounter.

Now every time I go back to Victoria Park, when I don't avoid it, I feel like this spot where we were sitting during the break up still resounds with something totally present, as though a heart stolen from a tale by Edgar Allan Poe still throbbed under the grass to remind me that, here, I had encountered a life that seemed right for me but had failed to have.

Ah! The pain I have. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty one and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!

Nice little green space, fairly quiet for an inner city park. Small playground area for kids, a couple bocce lanes for bocce players.

Other then a few drunk people hanging around, it's a nice park. Lots of families with happy kids.

That's my old stomping ground when I was a kid I love that place. It's so sad in this new era modern way of life I pictured East Vancouver a different way when I was young looking to the future. 80's kid. Commercial Drive is where my heart is forever and I'm sad when I see it now.

Good place for some local park fun. Public restroom available. Sometimes got weirdos in the park, the only downfall.

A flat park with a large grassy field, an excellent playground, two popular Bocce courts, plenty of shade, numerous benches, washroom facilities, and a walking path connecting to Victoria Drive. Being close to Commercial Drive, it seems many visitors enjoy a takeout lunch or drinks but are then unable to find the many well-positioned garbage cans.

Washrooms, bocce ball, children's playground, tables and benches, drugs were said to be sold there recently.

Their is a great kids park and and a wonderful lawn to relax on, also, the eastern part of the park is a true oasis for winos and hobos.

Great park to bring the kids cause of the playground. Bathrooms also. A majority of the area is open to sit n relax and more then open to pets. Locals are friendly too:)

Great environment and has public washrooms and great recreational activities and playground. Also with shade good for warm days

Beautiful neighbourhood park with lots for little kids to do. We appreciate the awesome toys left behind by kind parents.

So close to Commercial Dr.that your food will still be hot even if you walk from your favourite place to get food to go on the Drive. Great playground area for kids, and upgraded public washrooms.

Plusses: nice equipment in the kid's playground, including two "baby seat" swings, two "big kid" swings, a climbing pyramid, lots of slides, sand box area. Public washrooms and drinking fountains.
Minuses: can be really littered as people are living in this park. It can be a challenge to deal with all the litter and abandoned items.

Beware lots of drugs by the picnic tables and bacce ball courts. Stick to the west side of the park closest to the bathrooms and playground if with dogs and children. However. This park is absolutely stunning. It's got a huge lawn which is great for people watching all summer long. It's very much a community-focused park most of the year, but it is full of people during the warmer months. The playground for little ones is huge and there are public washrooms, whose cleanliness is usually acceptable.

Love it, perfect family place. The little gardena in it is great. Also bird conservatory was awesome.

Friendly neighborhood park. Nothing much impressive, it's just a nice spot to chill with your friends and dogs

A great park for the kids to run around and for parents to just sit back and relax. It's got a gate around 3 sides, and it's easy to see your kids from wherever you sit. There are also a lot of fun things to play with there!

I mean it's nice that there is a large park in an urban area and it does have a tennis court but other then that it's pretty boring. Basically just a large field. Good for group gatherings but not if you want nice photo opportunities.

Neighbourhood park kids area, bacci ball court, nothing special but it's close to home and I like it.

This park seems like the community around this area really enjoy it all year round. The park even provides lawn bowling on the far east side of park.
