Operating hours are from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., with metered parking available around the park subject to varying time restrictions. This cherished landmark holds a significant place in the city's history, as it was the city's first settlers, Esther and Amos Short, who designated a historical tree within the park as the starting point for Main Street. After Amos' passing in 1854, the resilient Esther contributed further to the city's growth, establishing the Pacific House, Vancouver's first hotel and restaurant, and later, the Alta House.
