The open park, sometimes referred to as a linear park, located underneath the skytrain Expo Line, was one of the dozens of open parks built in 1986 as part of TransLink Parkway Program showcasing different cultural parks on the 26-kilometer path that parallels the Skytrain.[1][2][3] Many ethnic communities created legacies on the linear park under the Skytrain in 1986.[3]
