A new park is coming to False Creek, a unique place where city and water meet, on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation).

The East Park* project is guided by the Guiding Principles for the design of parks in Northeast False Creek, and by what we heard from the local Nations and the public during the first round of engagement, held in the fall of 2022.This process identified five project goals as most important for East Park: nature, reconciling, circulation, belonging, and flexibility.

The project goals have shaped the preliminary concept designs for the south side of the site between the Seaside Greenway and East First Avenue. Now, we want to hear what proposed design features you are most excited about.

Along with technical design considerations, we will use your feedback to develop a concept plan which will be shared with you and presented to the Park Board for decision in the fall of 2024. The concept plan will include information about the shoreline and connections to the waterfront north of the Seaside Greenway.

Additionally, City of Vancouver Engineering Services is refining a concept for upgrading the Ontario Greenway as it connects with East Park. Through the design of East Park, we are also exploring closing Ontario Street to vehicles between Walter Hardwick Avenue and Athletes Way to increase future park space.

Get involved!



*Note: the project area is currently called East Park, however we intend to identify an official park name through a separate process.

The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation acknowledges, with respect, that our parks are located on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.
