Malkin Bowl, Open-air theatre in Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada.
Malkin Bowl is an open-air amphitheater in Stanley Park with seating for around 2000 people, nestled within the natural landscape with a forest backdrop. The stage features heating and an indoor rehearsal space, allowing performances to take place across different weather conditions.
The venue was built in 1934, replacing a bandstand from 1911 that previously stood in this location. Business leader W.H. Malkin funded the construction as a memorial to his late wife Marion.
The amphitheater has served as a gathering place where people come together outdoors to experience theater and music in a natural setting. Visitors spend evenings surrounded by trees, creating a sense of community through shared performances in the forest.
Visitors should be aware that seating is fully exposed to the elements, with conditions varying by season and time of evening. It helps to prepare for changing weather and bring suitable clothing layers.
The amphitheater design is based on a scaled reproduction of the famous Hollywood Bowl in California. This inspiration is evident in the architecture and acoustics, which were specifically engineered for outdoor performances.
