Marpole Today

Marpole, originally a Musqueam village named c̓əsnaʔəm, is a mostly residential neighborhood of 23,832 in 2011, located on the southern edge of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, immediately northeast of Vancouver International Airport. It is approximately bordered by Angus Drive to the west, 57th Avenue to the north, Fraser Street to the east and the Fraser River to the south. It has undergone many changes in the 20th century, with the influx of traffic and development associated with the construction of the Oak Street Bridge (which leads to Highway 99 leading to the southern suburbs) and the Arthur Laing Bridge (which leads to Vancouver International Airport).

Marpole is one of Vancouver's oldest communities. The Great Marpole Midden, an ancient Musqueam village and burial site, one of North America's largest village sites and "one of the largest pre-contact middens on the Pacific coast of Canada", has been a National Historic Site since 1933. According to the Musqueam, it dates back at least 4,000 years.

A long-house dated to the year 5 AD was located near modern Marine Drive, in South Vancouver, belonging to the Ancient Marpole First Nation.

Non-natives began to inhabit the area in the 1860s, calling it Eburne Station. The small town was separated from the city by miles of forest.

At the turn of the 20th century, the Vancouver Lulu Island Railway of the British Columbia Electric Railway interurban train were constructed, which triggered the development of sawmills, shingle mills and gravel companies in the region. The area was renamed after Richard Marpole in 1916, and by the time it joined Vancouver in 1929, it had become one of the area's major industrial centers.

Winona Park

Winona Park is a park in the Marpole neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, just south of the Langara golf course. It has 3 levels, each being the size of a football field. Unlike many similar parks which contain large grass fields, Winona Park is not attached to any community center or school. Combined with the fact that it is situated in an area which consists mostly of low density residential housing, and the fact that organized sports clubs require an explicit permit for use of the fields, Winona Park is relatively calm as attendance is low, providing individual or couples a haven of privacy and peace.
