McBride is composed of two parts; one, a large, open sports field and the other, a combination of tennis courts and children’s play area surrounded by mature trees. These large trees provide several quiet places perfect for reading on a bench or having a small picnic. The Provincial Government donated this land to the Park Board on July 26, 1911. It was officially named on that date after Sir Richard McBride, Premier of British Columbia at the time. During World War I the park was used for the cultivation of vegetables.

Unilocalers who are tennis players will thank me for this, as I was hesitant sharing this secret spot lol. Compared to the east side ones which tend to be really packed – come to think of it, even the west side Laurier’s courts has long lineups too(they’ve got 8!), this one is pretty good and not much wait times too even if the 4 courts are booked. Nice ppl here ;) Good for families too, there’s a children’s playground on the side street side. A good size park, parents can walk a few laps too. Nice cherry blossoms as well, full force today.
