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.
