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), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. We invite you to envision a new kind of park in Olympic Village.

Once a place with a diverse ecosystem where the host Nations stewarded healthy relationships with the land and water, the shoreline of False Creek was dramatically altered in the 1900s to support industry. The streams that once flowed into False Creek were filled-in as the city grew, burying thriving ecosystems and depleting the health of the land, and the water.

Together, we have an exciting opportunity to shape the future of this place. How can East Park* be a new kind of park? One that reinstates Indigenous values with a diverse ecosystem resilient to climate change. A park where everyone feels welcome. We invite you to envision a new kind of park in Olympic Village including the renewal of the False Creek waterfront between Creekside Community Centre and Science World.

Round 1 of public engagement took place in fall 2022. The objectives of the first round of engagement were to learn how people currently use the space and the area, and to hear people’s stories and hopes for this place. Take a look at the engagement summary from round 1.

*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.
