Pioneers Cemetery in Stanley Park
The Pioneers Cemetery in Stanley Park is an unmarked, undeveloped section of Stanley Park at the eastern-most part of Brockton Point.
This area of Stanley Park was used as Vancouver's first cemetery. Although, people were buried all throughout the park, but there was a definite concentration in this area and it became known as the Pioneers Cemetery.
There are no marked graves that we know about and nobody really visits the Pioneers Cemetery, but it is a location of Stanley Park.
The First Nations people used to put to rest their dead by hanging them on Deadman's Island, but unfortunately, it was totally logged so this practice did not continue.
We have explored this area of the park and it is definitely spooky!
