Playland in Pictures: A Vancouver summer tradition
Photo credit: Remy Scalza
Ah . . . summer at Playland. Vancouver’s amusement park may not be the biggest one out there or have the latest rides, but there’s just something about spending a summer day at the fair.
There are the games along the midway, which you know better than to play but still can’t resist (Does anyone ever actually win at Ring Toss?). There are the creaky, quirky, old rides – Crazy Beach Party, Music Express, Hell’s Gate – which look so fun until the minute you’re strapped in. Not to mention the deliciously greasy food (Do Legendary burgers ever taste as good as they do at the fair?). And of course, the Wooden Roller Coaster – not the highest or fastest but easily the scariest coaster around.
Here’s a quick photo journey through the park with some pictures I took over the weekend. If this stirs any fond memories, please leave a comment below about your own experiences at Playland.

Photo-Essay: Inside Vancouver Neighbourhoods – Downtown
Welcome to the first of a series of photo-essays created for Inside Vancouver. This month’s photo essay takes a look at the downtown peninsula.
One of the most vibrant areas of the city of Vancouver is its downtown core. Surrounded on two sides by magnificent waterfronts and topped by the greenery of Stanley Park, this downtown area is anything but a dead-zone buffered by the business of 9-5.
Whether it is international art, fantastic galleries, amazing food or specialty Vancouver shopping, the downtown of Vancouver has it all plus some. Static Photography’s photographer Kris Krüg had a chance to tour the streets of Vancouver for some fun in the sun and sight-seeing.
Come join us for a tour of Downtown Vancouver and see the sights for yourself!
