A new little park just opened in Port Alberni, BC, Canada. A private park open to everyone in downtown Port Alberni, situated on the corner of 3rd Ave and Angus St. opened Friday July 1st 2016 ( Canada Day). It is named after Stacey & Franco Gaiga who spent their life savings to transform an empty lot into a public green space.
It’s main feature is an 11 ft. tall native carving done by Artist Gordon Dick, (as seen below).
It is full of wonderful plants and a fountain with lots of seating, a great addition to our little city!
That is a beautiful park and a great, uplifting story. ❤

I thought it was kind of neat that the people who did this park had the last name Gaiga! That is cool! I’m sending a copy to Gaiga Guardians…. 🙂
