Vanier Park Bike Park
Many Hudson students and parents use the small dirt track bike park near Hudson in Vanier Park. The city is planning to expand the park with a larger kid-friendly pump track through the trees, but a local residents association is opposed to the park. If you’d like to have your say, please attend the open house that the city is hosting – the parks board says kids are welcome and encouraged to attend.
The public open house is scheduled for May 30, 4pm-7pm on the Seawall between the Coast Guard Station and the Burrard Civic Marina. Details here.
