GRANDVIEW PARK
PARK
(Commercial Dr, btwn Charles & William Sts; 20)
The Drive's alfresco neighborhood hub
is named after the smashing views peeking between its trees: to the north are the North
Shore mountains, while to the west is a cityscape vista of twinkling towers. Teeming
with buskers, dreadlocked drummers and impromptu sidewalk sales, the park is a big
summertime lure for nearby locals.
It originally housed the drill hall of the local Irish Fusiliers and is now home to a
slender granite war memorial. Wreaths are still laid here on Remembrance Day.
