Welcome to a sketch meet up that also includes a picnic option. 
We will meet for our hybrid event, on a gentle grass slope and under large shade trees, between the Bandshell (outdoor stage) and the large Picnic Shelter #1. A children’s playground is nearby too. 
There might be a live music event nearby, with seating, on this same Sunday afternoon. Hopefully we can hold a few picnic tables too. Nearby are drinking fountains (plus paint water) and washrooms. 
There is also a park concession with food, beverages and even Rocky Point Ice Cream. 

Sketching Subjects:
• informal strolling garden
• formal rose garden
• tall stands of cedar and fir trees
• drawing each other or other people nearby
• heritage homes along 1st Street 

Things To Bring: 
• art supplies
• food or beverages to share, if you like - there is NO obligation
• a collapsible stool or chair, some kind of a mat or blanket (there are a few picnic tables too) 

How to Get There: 

Public Transit: Take the SkyTrain to New Westminster Station, then take the #105 Uptown bus to Queen’s Park. 

Driving: Parking areas are available near our meet up point. See map. 

Fun Fact: Queen's Park was opened 31 years before Stanley Park in Vancouver. It was established in 1859, making it the oldest park in all of BC.
