Harbour Green Park was created as part of the redevelopment of the Coal Harbour neighbourhood during the late 1990s.
Harbour Green Park is a 2.5-hectare waterfront public space located in Vancouver's Coal Harbour neighborhood. The park features a large grassy lawn, a prominent spray park for children, and paved pathways suitable for walking and cycling. Its design emphasizes views of the North Shore Mountains and the Burrard Inlet. The park serves as a critical connector for the city's seawall cycling and pedestrian network. A significant portion of the site is reclaimed land formerly used for industrial port activities. The park provides various benches and picnic areas integrated into the landscape. It is situated adjacent to modern high-rise residential developments in the Downtown core. Local vegetation includes native grasses and coastal landscaping.
