Everett Crowley Park: Paradise Reclaimed holds the colourful story of an urban landscape that has endured and recovered from one of the most devastating of land uses, a city "dump".
An incredible amount of information on this one hundred acre parcel of land which might otherwise have been lost, has been uncovered from the minds of local residents and the City of Vancouver Archives.
This booklet has emerged from the passion of a community wishing to explore and share the history of Everett Crowley Park, a place once discarded, which has evolved into a cherished paradise.
Everett Crowley Park: Paradise Reclaimed is offered to the community and the citizens of Vancouver by a dedicated group of community members. Countless evenings were spent putting together the pieces to ensure that the intriguing history of this small pocket of southeast Vancouver was recorded.
