Playland (Vancouver, BC)

Playland in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is located at Hastings Park. It is an amusement park that operates from the beginning of April to the end of September on a daily basis every year.

Every year the park will replace one or two rides with new ones and the attendance of the park is always near capacity. Some of the popular rides include the Hellavator and Hell's Gate.

At the end of August, Playland and its renting partner Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) collectively host an annual fair for the local residents of Greater Vancouver. Talent shows, Animal Races, Demolition Derbies, Monster Trucks and good food/snacks are a few of the many interesting events found at the fair.

The city of Vancouver has long debated about whether the PNE and Playland will stay or move from its current location. However it has recently been decided that it would stay where it is for some time to come.
