This small but well-used park is tucked into a green corner of the Marpole neighbourhood. From the welcoming entry plaza, step down into a shady retreat filled with trees and flowering shrubs; children enjoy both the playground and the central grassy area.
Named in 1991 for William Mackie whose family once owned the property (in the early 1900s) where the park now sits. Mackie was a prominent Vancouver pioneer, gold miner and lumberman. This park is also home to the Marpole museum in a heritage house which is worth a visit if it is open. The park is now right next to the arbutus bike and pedestrian path on the former railway right of way.
