It was a very warm day as well, really hot!
We took the number 20 bus south on Commercial drive & transferred at 33rd & went west to Ontario St. We stopped in at Riley C-Centre for a washroom break & off we went around Hillcrest park which has Nat Bailey Park, etc....
We got to go into this new pool not yet open to the public & were politely told we had to leave. It will a fabulous pool.
I had not been to the Queen E. park in a long time & the view from up there was great.
The picture of V & I at the statues was a hoot, right little tourist we were, lol.
I took a pic of the back cause the male statue is cupping the females buttocks. The female statue on the right was once stolen & found.

Hillcrest and Q.E. Park
Take a walk around Vancouver’s Olympic venues. Become familiar with forthcoming Olympic sites and their surroundings. After the 2010 Winter Games, it will be converted to a new recreation complex with a community centre (replacing Riley Park), ice rink, branch library, curling club and offices
Share the beauty of our City with friends and relatives.
The walk starts at Riley Park Community Centre (50 E. 30Th Ave.). Walk south, crossing Ontario Street to enter Hillcrest Park. Turn right and proceed along the park border counter clockwise. At the Vancouver Curling Club, turn left and follow the path to the left to Clancey Loranger Way. Turn right, crossing Midlothian Ave., and enter Queen Elizabeth Park. Follow the trail up to the parkway and proceed right. Cross the road to the Duck Pond. Turn right, and follow the paved pathway to the right of the pond. Proceed along the path to the main Quarry Garden. Staying right, follow the path that circles the Garden, to the city view point in front of the Bloedel Conservatory.
