Esther Short Park

Established in 1853, Esther Short Park was bequeathed to the city at the death of its namesake in 1862 and made Vancouver's town square. Various attractions, including a skating rink, a wading pool and a railroad engine, have since come and gone. The Park underwent a major renovation in 2000. The Park is the site of many concerts and festivals which draw thousands to downtown Vancouver.
