Cash is also required for bar purchases at the LEGENDS Sip n’ Slide Soiree.
Pay attention to the marked “2 Hour only” parking zones near Hillcrest Centre entrances. You don’t want to get towed!

The Last Draw Lounge at the Vancouver Curling Club has a limited food menu. A special lunch feature will be available for purchase on Friday.
The Blue Parrot Cafe located outside the curling club entrance is open during regular facility hours.
On Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, the Nat Bailey Farmer’s Market (located in the parking lot) features a variety of local food trucks.
Two blocks east of the curling club is Main Street where you’ll find a number of quality food establishments.
For registered curlers, the LEGENDS “Poolside” BBQ Lounge features a slider bar catered by The Lazy Gourmet and the LEGENDS Sip ‘n Slide Soiree includes a hearty selection of West Coast canapés and a beef carving station.
