Description

The currently existing Brighouse Lacrosse Box is a rectangular sports structure with a concrete floor. It is surrounded by a low concrete wall, concrete floor, and wooden bleachers. Its setting in Brighouse Park consists of a park pavilion, mature trees, and formal landscaping.

Valeur patrimoniale

The primary heritage value of the Lacrosse Box is its representation of and association with the first lacrosse teams organized in Richmond, possibly as early as 1910. This significant community tradition was emphasized by the fact that the land, construction materials and necessary funding for the original lacrosse box were donated by various community organizations.

The sport of lacrosse has been a popular and important activity in Richmond since the beginning of the twentieth century, and the City retains its role as a major centre of box lacrosse in British Columbia. Many of Richmond's early pioneers played lacrosse at the Brighouse Box.
