Welcome to the M.O.B.Y. website .
MOBY community garden is located on 11th Ave, East of Commercial
Drive ( a few blocks from Broadway skytrain station). MOBY is a non-profit
association comprised of individuals who enjoy the fruits of their labour.
We're involved in various events in the community and we're proud of our
relationships with community organizations who believe in giving back to the
community. Stop by and say hello.
We raised funds, we pushed, we shoved, and finally it was time to complete the vision MOBY (My Own Back Yard) put out on its front page ever since its inception – we built a playground! On June 6th 2009 200 plus volunteers came to build the playground. What a wonderful feeling to have the community working together to reach a goal.
The playground dedicated ‘The Larry Young Memorial Park and Local Hero’s Pathway’. Larry Young was an honourable police officer, involved in youth and sports, who died in the line of duty in 1987. Stella Young; Sgt Young’s widow was touched to have the playground named after her husband. The playground is a happy place, Stella and Larry Young met at an early age in a playground; it seemed a fit memorial. Sgt Larry Young’s children and grandchildren were at the playground build. Every year we will be honouring local heroes who have made East Vancouver a better place.
