Current Projects

UPDATE: March 3, 2012
With the completion of BC Place, the BC Lions and Vancouver Whitecaps have moved to their new home and the temporary stadium at Empire Field has been dismantled.

The City of Vancouver has retained a professional consulting team and is working with Technical and Community Advisory groups to prepare design options and finalize a concept plan for reinstating community use at Empire Field. View the latest concept plans for the proposed synthetic turf fields and surrounding active park spaces: Plateau Sports Park, dirt jumps, Leeside Tunnel and jogging path.

Public consultation for the reinstatement of Empire Field, the Plateau Sports Park and park greenways will continue until June 2012. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2012 and be complete by fall 2013.

In December 2010, the Master Plan and Implementation Plan for Hastings Park and the PNE were approved by City Council. Efforts are now focused on developing detailed designs for the initial park spaces in Hastings Park: Park Greenways, Reinstating Empire Field, the Plateau Sports Park, Creekway Park and a connection to New Brighton Park. These initial park developments align with community priorities; creating additional park space and improving access to Hastings Park.
