— Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver’s horticultural jewel, is a major draw for floral display enthusiasts and view-seekers, and as a popular backdrop for wedding photos. At 125 m above sea level, it’s the highest point in Vancouver and makes for spectacular views of the park, city, and mountains on the North Shore.
— The 52-hectare park is home to the stunning Bloedel Conservatory. There is also a gorgeously landscaped quarry garden, the arboretum with its collection of exotic and native trees, sculptures including one by internationally renowned artist Henry Moore, and diverse recreational offerings such as tennis, lawn bowling and pitch & putt. The park is also the perfect setting for fine dining at Seasons in the Park, a picnic or stargazing!
— History
— Before European settlement, the park was an old-growth forest and a spawning ground for salmon. Grey wolves, elk and bears would frequent the area. The settler population which began in earnest in the 1870s exterminated the grey wolves, elk and bears, chopped down all the old growth forest and paved over the salmon creeks. The salmon creeks that extend from Queen Elizabeth to False Creek do still exist today, but they have been paved over and are so polluted that salmon no longer use them.[citation needed]
— In 1936, the BC Tulip Association suggested the creation of sunken gardens within the old quarries to the city's park board.[3] By the end of that decade, the site had been turned over to the Vancouver Park Board for park and recreation purposes. The park was dedicated by King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth (the mother of Queen Elizabeth II) during their visit to Vancouver in 1939, as King and Queen of Canada. From that time, Park staff incrementally transformed the overgrown hillsides into Canada's first civic arboretum, with a generous donation from the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. The popular quarry gardens were designed by Park Board Deputy Superintendent Bill Livingstone and were unveiled in the early 1960s.
— Prentice Bloedel's gift of $1.25 million funded the open reservoirs and built the country's first geodesic conservatory, which is surrounded by covered walkways, lighted fountains and a sculpture, Henry Moore's Knife Edge Two Piece 1962–65. The Bloedel Floral Conservatory opened on December 6, 1969 amidst much jubilation. Its enclosed tropical garden houses 500 exotic plants and flowers and more than a hundred free-flying tropical birds.[4]

From the views of patterned Richmond farmlands to the tranquil New Kinross Creek and Avalon Pond, many people enjoy the variety of informal spaces in this park; there are many trails and quiet places to enjoy choruses of birds and a lush woodland feel. — Everett Crowley Park is a 38-hectare large forested park with trails, located within the Champlain Heights area of Vancouver. — The park was previously a landfill, but was allowed to become reforested recreational purposes. Currently, it is Vancouver's 5th largest public park.[2] The surrounding neighborhood was the last area to be developed in Vancouver in the 1970s. — The park is maintained, developed, and protected by the Vancouver Park Board and stewarded by a committee of the Champlain Heights Community Association, the Everett Crowley Park Committee (ECPC).[4] Many of the trails in the park are designated as dog off-leash areas. — Everett Crowley Park is situated north of the Fraser River. It is a 3-minute walk north of Vancouver's developing River District, on the edge of the Fraser River — History — Prior to being a park, the area was known to be the Kerr Street garbage dump.[2] The Kerr Street garbage dump served as Vancouver's main landfill from 1944 to 1967.[4] The dump was closed in 1966, and the deposited waste was up to 49 metres in places.[4] Following 1967, the area was closed for 20 years until being re-introduced as Everett Crowley Park in 1987.[2] Dedication and opening of the park was promoted through petitioning and lobbying by local residents.[4] Eventually, the garbage dump was reforested by local and invasive species, although some efforts were made by the community. Since 2010, large areas of Himalayan Blackberry have been removed and replaced with several thousand trees planted by the Vancouver Park Board.[4] The park is named after Everett Crowley, who was the owner of Avalon Dairy, Vancouver's last independent dairy.[2] Everett Crowley served on Vancouver's Park Board as a Parks Commissioner from 1961 to 1966. — Everett Crowley Park is in transition. Since the early 1970s, native and invasive plants and animals have been slowly recolonizing the park, transforming it into a young forest of hardy deciduous trees, wildflowers, and opportunistic blackberry. The area is recovering, and the result is a botanically diverse landscape frequented by birds and other wildlife, who find refuge in this urban wilderness.[7] — Before to usage as a garbage dump in 1944, the area was a heavy dense coniferous forest. Trees native to this area were mostly hemlock and cedar trees.[4] In addition, salmon were present in a creek that ran through a ravine.[4] After its closure as a landfill, local plants such as cottonwoods and maple trees began moving back into the area.[4] Invasive species, such as blackberry shrubs, have taken residence in the park, and are a very common sight.[4] — According to a bird expert, over 200 different species of birds have been spotted in the park.[4] These include Stellars' Jays, Black-capped Chickadees, and the American Robin. The park is also a landing spot for migrant songbirds. https://everett-crowley-park.jimdosite.com/ | Sunset Beach Park — Sunset Beach is situated in the West End near the Burrard Street Bridge and Vancouver International Hostel.
