Get Outside
Locals are spoiled with all the green space in the neighbourhood.
The largest park in the community is at the Killarney Community Centre, but there are lots of other choices in the area.
We’ll touch on the community centre soon, but for now let’s stick with the outdoors, where you have tennis courts, a running track, football field and an off-leash dog park. Other parks in the area include Gordon Park with ball diamonds, and Nanaimo Park to the north.
The 5th largest park in Vancouver, Everett Crowley Park is a green sanctuary with a network of trails, winding through a transitional forest and urban wilderness. It’s located just east of the border of Killarney and an excellent place to take your pooch for an off leash walk to escape the city.
