Yaletown Park

Apparently this is what passes for a park in Yaletown.

This is a relatively new space I guess. At least I never noticed it before. 

Lawns tend to be bad for the environment but I'd prefer to see a park with a little vegetation. 

Once the pavers are covered with green algae (everything in Vancouver gets covered in the stuff) it may be more inviting.

Blue


The bridge at the foot of Main St. crosses over the rail yard, part of which was shown in Backside. The incline must be considered too steep since ramps were incorporated. 

CRAB Park at Portside (Create A Real Available Beach) is on the other side of the bridge so it does get a fair amount of foot traffic. 

In earlier days the Canadian National Steamship Terminal was located here. The building didn't seem to get a lot of use by the time I was aware of it and I don't think I ever saw inside but I was always a bit awestruck by it. 

I've Googled and Googled and cannot find a picture of it. But I haven't given up. I'm on a quest.
