Queen Elizabeth Park
Activities
Disc Golf
(Frisbee Golf near the Pitch & Putt Golf Course) Open to anyone who is adept with the wrist action. This ultimate sport is free and lots of fun with a group. Self-guided.
The Queen Elizabeth Park Lawn Bowling Club is open during the good weather months but has an active membership year-round. Visitors are always welcome.
Family reunions, getting the neighbours on
the block together or a child's birthday party,
all add up to a special picnic destination
for that perfect occasion. The verdant shoulders
of Queen Elizabeth Park can accommodate small
picnic groups, no reservations required under
50 people. First-come, first-served. Bring
your own portable BBQ, blankets or folding
chairs. No special permission required.
The Queen Elizabeth Pitch & Putt offers beautiful city vistas in the midst of unique trees like the Ginkgo. The 18 short, contoured par 3s (none over 110 yards), are set along a course where there are no hazards in play, making this a perfect course for those new to the game.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is practiced nearly every morning at the top of the park's plaza and under the seven Tai Chi Arbours. This popular Asian exercise has been translated as the 'Supreme Ultimate Martial Art' or as a 'Martial Art Using the Principle of Yin and Yang'. Tai Chi can usually be practiced by any age or ability.
If you are patient, free tennis in Queen Elizabeth Park can be yours. A bank of 18 tennis courts is positioned the southern edge of the park. They are all free on a first-come, first-served basis, limit of 30 minutes play if someone is waiting.
Viewing the Heavens Above
There's not a better spot in town than this, Vancouver's highest point above sea level, for viewing the wonders of the night sky. Stop by on a clear night or hook up with the local branch of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada www.rasc.ca 
who may plan outings here when all the stars are perfectly aligned.
