Ron Basford Park

Ron Basford Park


Named for Ron Basford, member of Parliament for Vancouver Centre 1963-1978. With his vision a decaying industrial site was transformed into an urban oasis and model community. He will always be remembered as Mr. Granville Island.
 
Ron Basford Park occupies the southeastern corner of Granville Island, between Performance Works and the Granville Island Hotel. In the summer, the park's amphitheatre hosts Carousel Theatre's Teen Shakespeare performances.

This is a nice park on Granville island with a hill and a winding trail to top. It is a great place for a picnic and hang out on a sunny day.  The hill has a stepped slope and a stage at the bottom. It would be a great place for an outdoor concert which rarely happens.
