Oppenheimer Park
400 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC, CanadaTel: n/a • Web: Visit this site »
Once known as the Powell Street Grounds, this park was opened in 1902 by the second mayor of Vancouver, and was eventually given his name. In the 1930s, the park was the only place where political gatherings could be held, and was consequently the location for many Depression-era demonstrations. Today, it caters to Vancouver's downtown eastside, serving as a recreational and social centre for the community. Its facilities include softball grounds, a basketball court, children's playground, and community centre. Another highlight of the park is the Powell Street Festival, an annual mid-summer event celebrating Asian-Canadian culture.

- Hard core heroine addicts everywhere.
“Don't visit this park, it is full of needles and hard core addicts. A place to be avoided for tourists.”

- Families, culture, acceptance and tolerance.
- Impolite people with cool cars and cameras as though they are looking at wild life.
“Reality definitely outside of the norm of paradise. keep your eyes open to the giving and forgiving human nature of the families that call this place home. Show respect to get respect. Definitely not the glitz, glamour, and ignorance of rich parks.”
