False Creek




A couple of evenings ago we were sitting around after dinner pondering our options of nearby places to explore in our city. It was a warm summer evening: too good to pass up. Besides, Shelby needed a walk.

I was thinking that we'd already explored all the "cool" neighbourhoods like Main Street, Commercial Drive, Coal Harbour, West 4th, West Broadway, Granville Island, the North shore of False Creek...

Then Shauna suggested the area around Science World. Off we went.

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find that the promenade along the South shore of False Creek had re-opened. It's right in front of the new Olympic Village (the buildings are not completely finished yet).

It's a fantastic bit of landscaping, I have to say. It reminds me a lot of Coal Harbour but there are many new and innovative benches and seating arrangements, not to mention a really cool pedestrian foot bridge.
