Why go

The hill gives the Explosion story a physical setting. Looking toward the Narrows helps connect the events offshore with the neighbourhoods affected on land, while the memorial creates space for reflection. The surrounding lawns and paths also make it a functioning local park, so historical interpretation sits alongside ordinary daily use rather than apart from it.
