Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) Playground

795 W 13th Ave, Vancouver, BC B5Z 1M9

Surrounded by an open field, Vancouver General Hospital gives your children plenty of space to run around.

With shorter slides, this is a fabulous option for children ages 2-8. 

Charleson Park Playground

999 Charleston St, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4A2

Charleston Park Playground has something for all ages and provides a fantastic view of Vancouver. For open-ended play, you’ll find in-ground trampolines, seesaws, and a wooden pirate ship. The center was reopened in 2020 with gear that continues to feel brand new. 

Crosstown Elementary School Playground

55 Expo Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6B 0P8

Crosstown Elementary School Playground is a seriously beautiful Vancouver space with colorful play gear your children will love exploring. The space has basketball courts and a reflection pond.
