Working with the Kitsilano Community Centre Association, the Kitsilano War Memorial Community Centre and members of the community, the Vancouver Park Board renewed the existing spray park in Connaught Park in July of 2020 to make it more engaging, accessible and sustainable.
The renewed spray park includes a variety of new spray types and interactive features set within a vibrant new paving design.
The renewal also includes numerous new bench and picnic style seating options while maintaining the same footprint as the original park.
