Over 27 acres of parks and green spaces reintroduce nature to restore ecological vitality to this former industrial site.
River District’s development plan favours active transportation over private vehicle use. Landscaped pedestrian linkages between buildings and the 1.5-kilometre Fraser River Greenway encourage walking. On-street and off-street cycle routes with bike share stations conveniently connect the West Fraser Lands and South Vancouver with Burnaby to the east. Bus services link to SkyTrain at Metrotown and the Canada Line at Marine Drive Station for travel outside the community.
