Brockton Point and cricket go hand and hand. When driving around Stanley Park it's enjoyable to stop and watch some cricket. You don't have to be a cricket aficianado to appreciate this unique game. Brockton Point is probably one of the most spectacular locations in the world to play and watch cricket. Cricket has been played at Brockton Point for decades. Although there are no grandstands, there are always spectators sitting on the grass or the benches watching. The background view of the harbour and mountains is absolutely stunning. I always thought that Vancouver should host a cricket test series at Brockton Point between top cricketing nations like India and Pakistan or England and broadcast it live to the cricketing world. The publicity for Vancouver would be amazing.
