Great time by the water ,great place to get out and get some fresh air .nice beach,paved path all around the park,ample of parking, see the the giant wind catcher that actually moves with the wind ..
Former located at what is now George Wainborn Park along False Creek in Vancouver during Expo '86. Created by Ron Baird, who's other work Sea Serpent can be found nearby at Heritage Park.
This is a large kinetic sculpture made with an image of a Thunderbird, carrying people's dreams and desires to the Creator. The wings are shaped as sharp blades that move with the wind. The sculpture is both interesting and mythical to behold.
When I visited last weekend, the sculpture was decorated with children's shoes and toys, as a memorial to the children lost in former residential school. It was a dark page in Canadian history and around the world where young and the vulnerable were victims of racial injustice. Let's do our part and don't let history repeats itself.
Great park! Lovely for a walk and various places to eat on the other side of the road. Has a mesmerizing memorial for the native children.
What a great tribute to all those children, the view is phenomenal 👏🏽. I'm very happy I stopped by this and pay my respects!
