Brockton Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brockton Point is located in Vancouver harbour at the east end of Stanley Park. It is named after Francis Brockton. Brockton Point Lighthouse, an automated light, is located at the point.
Its cricket ground was visited by Don Bradman in 1932, who called it the most beautiful cricket ground in the world.[1] Geoffrey Boycott also visited in September 1964 and agreed with Bradman's view.
