Park Oppenheimer

Located in the heart of Japantown’s historic district, Oppenheimer Park plunges into a pink cloud of flowering trees every spring and presents a number of public events, including the famous annual Powell Street Festival.

This popular city park is one of the favorite places for leisure, as it includes sports and playgrounds, picnic and recreation areas, walking areas, well-groomed lawns, trees, flowers and other attributes of the park of excellent quality. The park has always been known as a playground for baseball games, which attracts a huge number of fans and ordinary spectators.

The park was named after Vancouver’s second mayor, David Oppenheimer. The park was officially opened in 1898. In 1920 a fountain was installed in the park. Since its foundation, the park has undergone significant changes, which were completed during the last modernization in May 2010.
