This is not really a park but a public art project by Douglas Coupland. The Digital Orca sculpture breaks down a three dimensional orca whale into cubic pixels, making a familiar symbol of the West Coast become something unexpected and new. This use of natural imagery modified by technology bridges the past to the future. It speaks to the people and activities that created Vancouver's thriving harbour culture, while addressing the massive changes reshaping the BC economy. The sculpture's metal construction and lighting components evoke the daily moods of the harbour and the diversity of those who work there. Designed by Douglas Coupland in 2010.
