Filmed and edited by artist Israel Seoane, this short documentary series reflects on the creativity, resilience, and richness of artists, and community working together in difficult times.
Come explore activities at fieldhouses located in our parks.
Vancouver Park Board's Fieldhouse Activation Program transformed former care-takers’ suites in parks or underused facilities across Vancouver into active spaces for community engaged creative practices.
In each cycle artist collectives, local food, and environmental groups are given access to these spaces in exchange for engaging neighbours, colleagues, and curious visitors in imaginative, collaborative work in parks.
These inspiring projects lead communities into deeper conversations about living in the urban environment.

Parks and people: Innovative participation in public urban green space
In 2016, Sue Palmer was awarded a Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship to undertake research into innovation in participation in public urban green space in three cities: Berlin, Germany, Portland, Orgeon, and Vancouver.
Parks offer a gateway to nature in the city. As a community, we can care for parks together and use these spaces to get closer to nature and each other.
