Wendy Poole Park

Wendy Poole Park, Memorial park in Downtown Eastside Vancouver, Canada

Wendy Poole Park is a triangular green space in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver located where Alexander Street meets the Main Street Overpass. The site features a memorial boulder, walking paths, and seating with views toward Burrard Inlet.

A coalition of First Nations, community groups and Downtown Eastside residents, with Green Party commissioner Roslyn Cassells and activist Don Larson, campaigned to name this small waterfront park after Wendy Poole. The dedication took place on February 14, 2001, with her family present, timed to the annual DTES Women's Memorial March. Poole, a Tsay Keh Dene woman from northern B.C., was murdered in a Downtown Eastside housing coop on January 26, 1989; the case remains unsolved.

The park's name honours Wendy Poole, a Tsay Keh Dene woman from the Prince George area who was murdered in a Downtown Eastside housing co-op in 1989; her case remains unsolved. A memorial boulder at the site is inscribed with information about her life. The Spirit's Rising Memorial Society involves women and youth at risk in a totem carving project to be displayed in the park.

The park is easy to access from Main Street and features several benches where visitors can sit and enjoy the water views. Walking through the space at a relaxed pace lets you fully appreciate the memorial and the surroundings.

The park's memorial boulder is inscribed with information about Wendy Poole, a member of the Tsay Keh Dene First Nation from northern British Columbia. Her 1989 murder in a Downtown Eastside housing coop remains unsolved after a man was arrested and later acquitted.
