Trout Lake Training Venue
Trout Lake Training Venue
Trout Lake (John Hendry Park)
During the 2010 Winter Games
A new skating rink – located at John Hendry Park’s Trout Lake Community Centre – will serve as a training venue for figure skaters during the 2010 Winter Games. 
Funding for the 2010 Winter Games has sped up the replacement of this older skating facility, lending an added impetus for the complete replacement of the aging community centre in the future.
The new Trout Lake Rink, sporting an aerodynamic design, has been upgraded with technology to reduce energy and water use, creating a sustainable environmental legacy for the community. The new Trout Lake Community Centre will begin construction following 2010 Winter Games.

A pioneering past meets a new future

Credit: CVA 99-1902 John Hendry Park, featuring the city’s largest fresh water reserve at Trout Lake, served as the site of Vancouver’s first sawmill operation in the late 1880s – the Hastings Mill – which was co-owned by Vancouver pioneer John Hendry. Hendry’s daughter married Eric W. Hamber, a distinguished Vancouverite who was one of B.C.’s early lieutenant governors. In 1926, the Hamber family donated a substantial part of their land on the Hastings Mill site to the Vancouver Park Board as parkland. The site has been known as John Hendry Park from then on.
What’s in a name?
The recreation facility was built in 1963 and named the Grandview Community Centre. In 1977, it was renovated and renamed Trout Lake after the park’s main natural feature and the surrounding neighbourhood.
