With the sparkling, sunny expanse of False Creek unfolding before you, here is vibrant resort-styled living at its best. With acres of beautifully landscaped parklands, exquisite manicured gardens, and miles of waterfront seawalk just steps from your door, your options are as varied as your mood.

Enjoy a romantic picnic in David Lam Park with fresh baguettes and antipasto from the new Urban Fare gourmet supermarket. Or play an energetic game of beach volleyball or basketball on the neighbourhood's covered outdoor court.

As part of Vancouver's magnifcent waterfront seawall system that will one day extend from UBC to False Creek, English Bay and around to Canada Place, our neighbourhood seawalk is perfect for everything - an "exploratory" excursion to Science World, jogging or rollerblading along the shore, or a brisk cycle around to Stanley Park.

If boating is your thing, the new Quayside Marina is the perfect place to go sailing, kayaking, or canoeing. With a new 500 foot, floating public pier extending from the foot of Davie Street out into False Creek, the new marina offers residents the convenience of a ferry stop and launching for small crafts. Designed by the acclaimed architectural frm Busby and Associates, the marina also includes 150 slips for boats of varying sizes, visitor moorage, and off-site underground parking for marina users.

"The marina animates the waterfront," observes architect Peter Busby. "False Creek has always been the centre of Vancouver's recreational waterfront activity. The marina provides an opportunity to restore that activity on a scale that relates to people. It's the reason people gravitate to areas like Sausalito in San Francisco. It's fun to sit in the sunshine and watch the boats go by. And the public pier makes that enjoyment accessible to everyone."
