The post Check out our Spring & Summer 2026 Programs appeared first on Douglas Park Community Centre.

]]> spring summer 2026 Douglas Park Community Centre BrochureHello from Douglas Park Community Association!

Welcome to Spring/Summer 2026.

Douglas Park Community Association (“DPCA”) is grateful to operate on the unceded, ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil Waututh Nations.

Vancouver will be hosting 7 FIFA world cup soccer games between June 13th and July 7th. As such, Douglas Park’s June Community Day will not be in its traditional one day form this year but rather celebrations will be spread across the summer through enhanced Performance in the Park concerts by including games and other activities. Mark the following Thursday evenings on your calendar: July 16, 30, August 13 and 20. World cup games will be shown in the lobby. Pop on by and cheer!

DPCA received a great response to our call for community members to join the board resulting in 5 new directors. Thank you, and welcome to our new directors.

The DPCA board would like to acknowledge and thank our Community Recreation Supervisor Jody Gunderson. She has been the heart of the centre for the last 8 years. Sadly, she is now needed at another community centre. They are lucky to have her, we will miss her, and we wish her ongoing success in her career.

Thank you to all the DPCA volunteers, board members, DPCA and Vancouver Park Board staff, and the Vancouver Park Board.

Christine Coleman
President, Douglas Park Community Association
