Larwill Park, also known as the Cambie Street Grounds, was a park and sporting field in downtown Vancouver. Currently a parking lot, the site was also the location of the bus depot of Pacific Coach Stage Lines and Greyhound Bus Lines from World War II to the mid-1990s, when it was demolished. The park was bounded by Cambie, Dunsmuir, Beatty and Georgia Streets, the former park occupied a whole city block and was laid out at the time of the CPR Townsite survey in the early 1880s. It was Vancouver's second sporting grounds, the first being on Brockton Point in Stanley Park, and was used for all kinds of sports.
