If you are not familiar with the Princess Park area, Princess Park homes are situated north of 29th Street between Upper Lonsdale and Lynn Valley. This is a peaceful, picturesque area that is entirely residential, with several great family cul-de-sacs, and many of the Princess Park homes are within walking distance to Carisbrooke Elementary School, which is located in the Upper Lonsdale area. Princess Park itself is a beautiful, spacious park, with trails for walking, dogs, cycling, tennis courts, a greenbelt, and a great play area for kids with slides, monkey bars, swings, etc. Historic Hastings Creek runs through Princess Park. Back in the 1950s, the creek was dammed with a concrete spillway, creating a large swimming hole that drew plenty of crowds on hot summer days. Back then, there was no formal park or name; the area was just called Princess Pool.
