Brockton Point is located in Vancouver harbour at the east end of Stanley Park. It is named after Francis Brockton. Brockton Point Lighthouse, an automated light, is located at the point.
Its cricket ground was visited by Don Bradman in 1932, who called it the most beautiful cricket ground in the world. Geoffrey Boycott also visited in September 1964 and agreed with Bradman's view.
Famous quotes containing the word point:
“No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
