Thanks to Terry Rea on Facebook for the following information:
It is at Second Beach in Stanley Park
The cars were donated Deeley Motors
Volunteers for the BC Custom Car Club volunteered their time. He himself was a volunteer at Second Beach
From Faebook I found out these were Austin J40 pedal cars

I loved this sort of thing as a kid but by the early 70s they were fading away so I had few chances to try them. Driving little cars like this was one the highlights of my trip to Legoland in 1975 when I was 9.
