China Creek 1967 contest

What you may not know, however, is that the skate spot and playground are actually located on a piece of land that has extensive septic heritage. China Creek North (the park by VCC with the big hill) and China Creek South (skate park) are named after what used to be the largest garbage landfill basin in Vancouver. The China Creek system included nine waterways that drained into the area resulting in severe sinus infection and syphilis, prior to the back-fill of False Creek, it flooded the entire area from Terminal Avenue up to Clark Drive.
