Hillcrest Park

Hillcrest Park

Hillcrest Park is located in the Riley Park-Little Mountain neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia. It is located immediately north of Queen Elizabeth Park and west of Riley Park.

Next to Hillcrest Park is the site containing Nat Bailey Stadium, home of the Vancouver Canadians baseball team; the Millennium Sports Centre, home to both the Phoenix Gymnastics Club and the Pacific Indoor Bowls Club; and the Vancouver Racquets Club.

The little league Little Mountain Baseball has its ballpark and clubhouse in Hillcrest Park They also use ballparks at Riley Park for the younger age groups. In addition, there are two larger diamonds used by Vancouver Community Baseball. During the soccer season the ballparks are converted to be used as soccer fields by various competitive and recreational leagues.

Hillcrest Park also is home to the Vancouver Curling Club. It is currently on the south-west corner of the park in a small building, and has only 5 sheets. With the 2010 Winter Olympics coming to Vancouver the club will be getting a new, expanded facility next door to the Millennium Sports Centre. The new facility will house a new community centre, library, ice rink, curling arena, and the Percy Norman Aquatic Centre. Construction is slated to begin in early 2007 and the ice sports portion is to be completed by the end of 2008. The aquatics portion of the building will not be completed until spring of 2009, and the final renovations to finish the community centre will occur after the 2010 Winter Games.
