On May 16, 2022, the Park Board unanimously approved the John Hendry Park Renewal Plan presented by staff.
The long-range renewal plan will guide improvements to ensure the East Vancouver destination park continues to be a vibrant and well-loved community gathering space for years to come.

Following the approval of the John Hendry Park Renewal Plan, we have been progressing essential planning work, including surveys, tree health assessments, and soil and water studies to prepare for future improvements.
