| | | Though not in Stanley Park, lets not forget Tower Beach (adjoined to Wreck Beach) there are 2 gun turret stations that were built to ward off potential attack from the Japanese during WW2.

| | | I went for a walk down in that area after I first moved back here a couple years ago and those things puzzled me. I had NO idea what the hell they were for. I couldn't even find anything online for them for the longest time either (namely because I wasn't searching for the right thing online LOL). Its a shame that these bits of our heritage aren't preserved or more well known.

I remember walking by those once, I've wanted to poke around them ever since then.
