This is one of the last vestiges of the Jericho Seaplane Base, a hive of activity during WWII.
In 1976, shortly after transfer to the city,
the base briefly sprung to life as Habitat Forum, with railings
for the wharf provided by the 1938 guard rails from the Lions
Gate Bridge, whose north deck had recently been replaced.
The parks board, which has provided little or
no maintenance, wants to spend money to demolish rather than
rehabilitate the wharf.
Updated 13 April 2006: Urgent in the Parks Capital Plan budget is
the possible demolition of this wharf, one of the last remaining structures from the former Jericho Seaplane Base.
