Hastings Park Access Pass program

For neighbourhood residents who live within a three block radius of Hastings Park, we run the Hastings Park Access Pass program. The pass allows users to access the park, including the Sanctuary, free of charge from 6:00am to 10:00am for the duration of the PNE Fair. The deadline to apply for the 2024 Fair is August 2, 2024.

2024 Hastings Park Pass application

The Hastings Park (HP) Pass (the “HP Pass”) is for the exclusive use of the pass holder to enter Hastings Park in order to gain access to Park spaces or to pass through the Park (i.e. walking or jogging through) during the Fair from August 17 to September 2. Only residents of the Hastings Sunrise area, as defined by the City of Vancouver, are eligible to apply to receive one of the limited number of passes available. A maximum of two (2) passes are available per family/household; children 5 years old and younger do not need a pass. All applicants are required to submit a photo for their pass.
