Little Mountain

Little Mountain is an urban hill located within Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, rising approximately 125 meters above sea level. From the summit, visitors can see across the city, the surrounding bay, and the North Shore Mountains in the distance.

The hill has influenced Vancouver's urban development since the early 20th century, shaping how neighborhoods grew around it. Its elevated position made it a natural landmark for city planning and expansion.

The summit area serves as a popular gathering spot where local residents walk, relax, and take in the views from multiple vantage points. The pathways and gardens create spaces where the community naturally congregates throughout the seasons.

You can reach the summit via paved pathways on foot, or drive directly to the parking area near the top of the park. The routes are easy to walk and remain accessible in most weather conditions.

The gardens here were built on former quarries where stone was once extracted for construction. This transformation shows how an industrial site became a green space where people now gather and relax.
