Twenty-First Century Challenges & Opportunities 2004: BCMCL & VDCA withdrew from BCCA; West Coast Cricket Organization (Cricket B.C.) incorporated. Attempts were made by splinter groups to assert control over Brockton Point, but BCMCL eventually reclaimed jurisdiction. Facility issues: Vancouver Meralomas maintain Connaught Park and associated facilities Brockton Point lacks dedicated grounds staff or forestry maintenance Parks Board maintains a “one size fits all” approach, often ignoring cricket-specific needs Recommendations: Add BCCA and Brockton Point Cricket Grounds to the Stanley Park Cultural & Heritage Asset list. Lease the Brockton Cottage to cricket at the same rate as Vancouver Meralomas’ Connaught Park facility. Establish a trust or foundation to restore the fields to grass wickets, phased over 10 years: Upper Brockton: first five years Lower Brockton: next five years Grass wickets will restore the historical integrity of Brockton Point and support cricket’s growth as the world’s second most popular team sport, while respecting the vision of pioneers like Don Bradman and the Vancouver Juniors. Summary: Grass, three sticks, a ball, a bat game on. Brockton Point should never become a “Members Only” enclave.
