Gretchen Fraser Park

Olympic Legacy

Gretchen Fraser Park honors the remarkable skier from Tacoma who made history as the first American to claim Olympic gold in skiing. After hanging up her competitive skis, Fraser settled in Vancouver with her husband and dove into community life, leaving her mark beyond just the slopes. This quiet Vancouver park carries her name as a tribute to that legacy.
