This large park is enjoyed by sports teams and neighbours alike. The formal tree-lined entry leads to the war memorial that gives the park its name; the track beyond is a popular place to exercise and socialize. The pond is a quiet place to watch the dragonflies and ducks.

A lit synthetic turf field and a nearby running track opened in mid-2011. Soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and ultimate players can now book the field. The nearby track was upgraded from a cinder track to a six-lane, rubberized surface—the first with low level lighting in the Vancouver park system—and is available on a first come first served basis. Users include local residents who walk around the track and students from several elementary and secondary schools. The oval inside the track is used by both cricket and ultimate teams.
