Tatlow Park

This park offers abundance of opportunities to relax, play tennis, view the North Shore Mountains and access this green space via the Point Grey bike lane or from Alma Street..

A small rock-lined stream meanders through Tatlow Park, crossed by small footbridges. Large trees tower over quiet seating areas, making this a quiet place to read a book or bring children to enjoy the playground. This is one of the city's oldest parks. It was purchased from T.E. Calland in 1907 for the sum of $10,600 and on July 26, 1911 it was named for The Honourable R.G. Tatlow, Minister of Finance, and a former Park Commissioner who had served on its first Board in 1888 and thereafter for 18 consecutive years with 9 of those years as Chairman. Tatlow was killed in a tragic fall from his horse while in Victoria on April 11, 1911. There have been tennis courts at this location since 1913, some of the earliest in the city.

This is our favorite park of all the beautiful world class landmarks of our gorgeous city. It has safe and fun contraptions and slides as well as swings for all ages nestled neatly under the shade of ancient trees. You are always protected from direct rain of sun. The landscape is that of a story book with a murmering stream and two wooden bridges to cross it. Large grass areas welcome pick nick blankets, frisbee chasers and sun worshipers alike and a near by tennis court adds motion and energy to the serenity of rolling hills that carry down sleds and toboggan when snow comes to visit our shores. The bathroom facilities are right at the site and reasonably maintained. Truly an iconic playground where many generations brought their own children to learn and play as they once have.

Decent park with lots of equipment and space to run around. Love the shade and big trees but there’s not much for kids under 3 most of the equipment is for older kids. Looking forward to seeing what the new park will look like

Great park, it’s covered by lots of trees so even in the pouring rain you stay kinda dry. It’s our favourite park. Looking forward to the new and improved playground soon!

nice matures tree. playground about to be renovated.

I would give it 5 stars if they could spruce up the kids' park area. The equipment is a little dated and dangerous.

Great park and playground. Just wish there was a bit more natural light there are lots of big trees

Nice shady playground for when it's really hot out. The playground is okay but needs a refresh. Fortunately this is being planned by the parks board.

Nice quiet park nestled under some trees. Whether you need a playground to take your child to or you want a quiet place to read a book Tatlow Park is big enough to have what you seek.
