I found that the Miracle Mile occurred not far from me in Vancouver . Here  in 1954, Roger Bannister and John Landy redefined what was possible in track as they both broke the 4 minute mile. This had never occurred before.Now an incredible transformation has occurred in the park ; complete with synthetic soccer fields, a 560 m track that has a rolling hill, permanent ping pong tables and exercise equipment and a large play area. The cities 2nd oldest park has become a gem and hub of activity.
