Trillium Park — Attraction in Vancouver

A new park in Strathcona which has two large soccer fields that is always popular. There is also a new playground with rubber ground, a grass area, a garden and washrooms.

The park offers something for everyone. The south end consists of two synthetic turf fields that are used for field hockey, soccer and ultimate, with a perimeter walking path. The fields are lit and are heavily used by the local community and for tournaments.

The north end of the park consists of a playground, amphitheatre, lawn area, meadows, rain gardens, community plaza, covered multi-use park shelter and harvest bench. It is a venue for many neighbourhood events, and where art and environmental education can be demonstrated.

Some areas of Trillium Park North (meadows, rain gardens) have been naturalized. This requires new approaches to design and maintenance. Naturalized areas are environmentally sustainable. They are not mowed, fertilized or irrigated and don't look like typical manicured parks.

A master plan was subsequently developed, identifying the site for the construction of two synthetic sports fields along with a passive park on the north end of the park.

This site underwent environmental remediation and preloading for several years prior to the beginning of park construction in 2009. The synthetic sports fields were completed in 2010 and the washrooms/change rooms were completed in the following year. The remaining northern portion of the site, approximately 1ha, was...

Excellent fields, easy access to Skytrain, and lots of free parking available.

Fields are in great shape and the park is pretty nice. There is very little shade, so if you're there on a sunny day, be sure to bring some sun protection.

Bathroom facilities are unacceptable. Even after purchasing a permit, the Parks Board didn't have the women's washrooms or changerooms unlocked and they said they would "try to get someone out there" when called. Men's washrooms were filthy with blood on the toilet. Good thing a disabled person didn't have to use...
