Public Invited to Second Meeting to Discuss China Creek South Park Proposed Improvements

March 1, 2005 (No. 17) - The public is invited to attend a second Public Meeting to share their ideas about improvements for China Creek South Park. The Vancouver Park Board is planning an upgrade of this 1.63 hectare park located near the corner of Broadway and Clark Drive. The park includes the city's first skate board bowl, built in the late 1970s, still a popular draw for neighbourhood youth.

More than 60 people attended an initial public meeting that was held on February 17th to discuss what they liked about the park and to suggest improvements. A request was made by the group for a second meeting to discuss the park upgrade in greater detail.
