The Hillcrest Park is a park in the district of Riley Park-Little Mountain from Vancouver , British Columbia . The park is home to the Nat Bailey Stadium , home of the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club, and the Millennium Sports Center , home to several sports clubs. In addition, the curling competitions of the Olympic Winter Games and the Winter Paralympics 2010 were held in a newly built ice arena .
Construction work on the ice rink, which is located right next to the Millennium Sports Center on the site of today's curling hall, began in March 2007 and was completed in February 2009. According to the organizers, the park, four kilometers from the Olympic Village , was easy to reach by public transport.
Since the Olympic Games, the hall has been used as a multi-purpose ice rink, since in addition to the six to eight curling lanes there is also an ice hockey rink , a sports hall and a library in the building complex. As in the previous hall, the Vancouver Curling Club will play its games in Hillcrest Park.
