Yaletown Park — Attraction in Vancouver

Yaletown Park was designed as an urban gathering space built atop public underground parking. The 0.4 acres of public space is paved with granite blocks studded with curving pieces of old granite curbs for informal seating under a canopy of ornamental flowering trees. Screens overgrowing with vines line the border with Nelson Street.

The park was created in partnership between the City of Vancouver and developer Bruno Wall (Yaletown Park Condominiums Properties). Wall contributed the property and paid $0.5 million which represents half the park construction cost, with the City paying the balance out of Downtown South development cost levies.

Park design was by landscape architects Durante and Kreuk Ltd. T. Moscone & Bros. Landscaping Ltd. was the general contractor.

Not a real park because there is very little green, more like urban garden. There is only a few trees. Good place to sit in Yaletown on sunny day and drink something from...

I get back after work to be met by the same east Indian lady. I ask for photos and she says "My shift ends soon and it will take too long to do your photos" (I needed 2 passport sized photos) then shuts a door on me.

I honestly don't think I have ever experienced such rude treatment. I can only hope the attitude of this single employee isn't a reflection of Shoppers attitude toward customer service.

Absolutely...

It features curving pieces of old granite curbs for informal seating under a canopy of ornamental flowering trees, with screens overgrown with vines lining the border with Nelson Street​​. Despite its urban design, the park has faced criticism for its lack of green space and amenities, being described as a "dark cemented waste of space" that lacks basic amenities like washrooms, playgrounds, proper tables, or covered areas. The surface is covered with brittle cement, making it visually unappealing and inaccessible, with tiny rock chairs that are too...
