Photos - I managed to catch the tail end of the Hastings Park Racecourse daily exercise session. Horse handlers were out on the track to make sure the stabled horses are given the care and daily attention they need.

Photos - The Hastings park Racecourse Grandstands, Weathervane (on the Judges gazebo), and press booth on top of the grandstands. Covering some 162 acres, Hastings Park is Vancouver's second largest Citywide park. It was given to the City by the Province of British Columbia in 1889 for the purpose of a park. For its first fifty years Hastings Park included both significant green qualities - a stream running north/south through the site, woodlands, open meadows and a golf course - in addition to the horse racetrack which has occupied a portion of the park since 1892, and the Vancouver Exhibition buildings and grounds.
