Hastings Park

Hastings Park extends across 62 hectares of land, featuring extensive green spaces, gardens, sports facilities, and recreational areas within Vancouver's metropolitan setting.

The provincial government of British Columbia granted this land to Vancouver in 1888, establishing a foundation for public recreation and community gatherings.

The Momiji Gardens, completed in 1993, represent Japanese horticultural traditions with contributions from the Vancouver Japanese Gardener's Association and the Japanese Canadian community.

The park includes multiple entry points, connections to public transportation, walking trails, and spaces for various outdoor activities throughout the year.

The Sanctuary pond area, developed between 1997 and 2001, functions as an ecosystem for local birds and small animals amid native plant species.
