Devonian Harbour Park

This elegant park offers many peaceful seating areas and serves as a gateway between Stanley Park and Coal Harbour. Devonian Harbour Park offers something for everyone, whether throwing a ball on the rolling lawns, enjoying the magical views of the harbour and pond, or contemplating the interesting sculptures. The entrance to Stanley Park was for years the subject of much controversy with plans of development then finally in 1984 after the dedicated work of the Save Our Parkland Association in conjunction with the Park Board and along with a generous donation of over $600,000 from the Devonian Foundation in Alberta, the property was saved. This park was once the location of the Denman Arena which was the home of the Vancouver Millionaires who won the Stanley cup here in 1915. They beat the Ottawa Senators. The arena was destroyed by fire in 1936. In 1927, the 2,500 seat Denman Auditorium was built next to the Arena. The Auditorium, which was multi-purpose, survived the fire of 1936 and was renovated in 1952. It re-opened on September 10, 1952 as the Georgia Auditorium concert hall. It only lasted seven years before it was demolished in 1959, after the construction of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

Warm, clean air, a bit crowded but manageable. Recommend

Just a small park next to Stanley Park. There are a couple of pieces of public art but a few more wouldn't hurt. Good people watching, a bit noisy from Georgia St. traffic.

A nice little scenic corner of interest.

A nice enough park. Quieter than Stanley Park proper, but a nice taster of the Sea Wall to come.
