Title: Hastings Mill Park
Location: Hastings Mill Park Physical Address: 1575 Alma St. Vancouver, BC V6R3P3, Canada There is no Wikipedia page on this park, so we decided to create a whole new page. Below is what we thought would be important to add onto our page, in terms of the park’s significance and the history associated with it.
The Hastings Mill Park is located on the waterfront in the West Point Grey neighborhood. The playground received an upgrade this summer which was completed in September of 2016. The goal of the renewal was to create a more engaging an accessible play area for a wider range of ages. The materials used depict the story of the logging industry and the historical significance of the Hastings Mill museum, located just beside the playground.
