It's easy to confuse Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver with Queen's Park in New West! Before Queen Elizabeth Park was public parkland, it was used as a basalt quarry providing foundation rock for Vancouver roads. Queen's Park on the other hand has been a public recreational choice for over 120 years.
