CRAB Park at Portside

The Vancouver Park Board has completed the playground renewal and refresh of the splash pad at CRAB Park. 

The new playground features:

• Play structure with slides
• Tot swing set
• Bouncy riders
• Carousel
• Rubber surfacing
• Benches, tables with seating, and trees
• Refreshed splash pad with new paint and paved surfacing

The playground and spray park opened in summer 2025.

The Vancouver Park Board is grateful to Port of Vancouver External website, opens in new tab and DP World External website, opens in new tab for their financial contribution towards this project.

As part of our city-wide Parks Washroom Strategy PDF file (3.5 MB), the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is piloting two new Portland Loos and has installed a new drinking fountain at CRAB Park at Portside.

The fieldhouse, which was closed in October 2019, was demolished due to its condition. The Portland Loos and demolition work was funded by the 2019-2022 Capital Plan New Washrooms budget.

We are continuing to monitor the Portland Loos.
