Al Larwill- He was the original caretaker of the Cambie Grounds, a park formerly located on the site in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Although a squatter himself, Larwill cared for the grounds and the athletes who competed at the park. His shack was the living room for the grounds and any person playing could enter his home, which was never locked, and leave their belongings for safekeeping.
