These huge trees …felt like a fairy tale environment. — Young Mazino about Stanley Park.
On Seattle Day 2 of The Last of U season 2, Young Mazino’sJesse, Bella Ramsey’s Ellie and Isabela Merced’s Dina dodge Seraphites at night in an overgrown downtown park played by Vancouver’s famous Stanley Park.
The weird love triangle — Jesse, Dina and Ellie — witness the Seraphites hang and disembowel a Washington Liberation Front (WLF) soldier.
Dina is shot by an arrow and Jesse carries her off. Ellie promises to rejoin them at base camp at the Pinnacle Theater but instead goes into the hospital to track down Nora.
The Last of Us chose Stanley Park because they wanted the idea of overgrowth in an urban setting.
The Last of Us closed a trail in Stanely Park near the Hollow Tree from May 29th to June 9th last year.
