Fieldhouse programs in parks

Doing It For Love: Five Stories from Creative Communities in a Global Pandemic

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.

P’ipa:m Lelum – Frog House

Theme: Social engagement

Clinton Park fieldhouse
Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House has been part of Vancouver Park Board’s (VPB) Fieldhouse Activation Program since 2019. The Clinton Park Fieldhouse is now an intercultural hub. It holds Indigenous plant workshops, decolonizing dialogues, and art programs, which are all guided by a land-based approach that invites us to explore our personal and societal connections to living on the unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), sə̓lílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

This fieldhouse was given a Salish name by elder Shane Pointe; P’ipa:m Lelum, which means Frog House. In Indigenous culture, the call of the frog in the springtime is a call to action. It signifies that the dormancy of winter is ending and the time for work is beginning anew. Our work aims to motivate the community to take action and make the changes they want to see in themselves and the community.

Built through the lens of Indigenous principles and leadership, the Clinton Park Fieldhouse has become a place to honour Indigenous history, peoples, and the land; a place of song, art, nature, and connection, and where we turn ideas into action.

Written on the Body at McBride Park Fieldhouse

Written on the Body represents a way of working, practicing, experimenting, creating, and collaborating between Elisa Thorn (harp & composition) and Dayna Szyndrowski (percussive dance) at Written on the Body.

"Written on the body is a secret code only visible in certain lights, the accumulations of a lifetime gather there.” Inspired by this text from Jeanette Winterson, the concept began as a collaborative performance between Szyndrowski and Thorn and has since developed into a larger artistic practice that navigates the intersections of music and dance, tradition and innovation, and composition and improvisation.

Through creative work and play with community members of all ages, the pair aim to develop methods to look within in order to look outwards in art and beyond.
