Save Little Oz Park
The Metro Vancouver Parks has proposed a plan for a new service yard for Pacific Spirit Regional Park. Currently, the Little Australia Park is one of the three sites being considered for this new service yard.
The proposed service yard will be about one acre in size (4000m2), and will be used for many purposes, including the storage of materials such as paint, gravel, trail materials, garbage, firefighting chemicals and fuel for equipment.
While a new service yard for Pacific Spirit Regional Park is important to service and maintain the park, the residences living in the area and the UEL Community Advisory Council (CAC) are concerned about the social, health, environmental and economic impact the yard will have for the residents and the community.
