Rupert Park

Rupert park is a very large park and is well known as a golf course but there is much more than a golf course. There is a couple of sports fields, tennis courts, washrooms, and playgrounds. There is also some trails doing a complete circle around the perimeter of the park.Rupert’s attractive, open views create a wonderful setting for walking or playing in one of the sport fields. There is plenty of space for children’s play and picnics in the upper half of the park; or, slip through the trees on paths that open up to the ponds and rolling greens of the pitch ‘n’ putt.HistoryOnce destined for a shopping mall this uniquely located park was set aside for the public’s enjoyment in 1965. Thankfully, a dedicated Vancouver Park Board and a diligent community convinced City Council that the east side of the city needed parkland more than a shopping facility. Rupert Park was officially named in January 1967 and opened as the Park Board’s third pitch & putt golf course in 1971. Its main distraction was a major highway bisecting its rolling greenswards.In 1995 the park was completely refurbished and the road removed making the property whole once again. New fields, a renovated golf course and redesigned fieldhouse plus a perimeter pathway give this neighbourhood park a multifaceted feel.

Nice little park with a great ball diamond. Short trails. Parking isn't great

A lovely park with great big fields x2. One field has a baseball diamond. Note that the fields get mucky after a good rain. There are public washrooms but lately (September) they've been locked. Next to the nicest pitch and putt golf course in the City of Vancouver. Fantastic views of the North Shore mountains.

First visit to this great park was memorable. A sunny October day that started off frosty but warmed up nicely. Huge sporting fields beside the pitch-and-putt golf course with nearby tennis courts, too. There’s a perimeter walk around the golf course with lots of green space views and natural features. The park was ifficult to find, even with with GPS apps. Go east on Charles St. and at the end is the Pitch and Putt parking and entrance. Enjoy!

Love this place at any time of year. Great big fields, nice slope to slide on when it snows, peaceful little walking loop through the trees.

Best Place to view cherry blossom during April

Lots of spaces to explore…much bigger than you think including huge fields, tennis courts, and lots of benches. I also appreciate the shade from the beautiful trees. Pitch and putt is also apart of this park. Not too busy most days.

I found this park by accident on a long walk. It's on a hill with a bit of a view of the city. There is a basebill diamond that sits right in top of it. There are also tennis courts that are tucked down almost out of site below the diamond for some more private secluded matches. There was a path around that entire part of the park that had a lot of joggers on it. To my surprise there was also golf behind it!?! I'm fairly new to this city so I thought that was cool and kind of funny to find in a city.
