The quest
A two-minute stop at Memorial Park Obelisk. One date off the metal. Then back to the sidewalk.
Steps
- Stand on public ground at Memorial Park Obelisk.
- Read the plaque. Copy one date and one name.
- Leave. Do not climb it.
Why this is on the board
Memorial Park Obelisk (south-east of centre, Vancouver) is how this part of Vancouver remembers something. You get one date and one name — a piece of the street that does not show up in a listicle.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
