Park Information
The Westminster Pier Park is a unique waterfront park extending into the Fraser River, offering visitors a scenic place to play, relax and enjoy the waterfront. Amenities include a 325-metre waterfront boardwalk, festival lawn, concession, elevated viewpoints, gardens, picnic areas with accessible tables, benches, a basketball court, spray park, outdoor fitness circuit, public art, and a play area. The park connects with the Waterfront Esplanade Boardwalk to create a 2.5-kilometre linear waterfront experience.
On the west side of Westminster Pier Park are two sites that add about two acres of parkland and re-establish the riverfront experience between the Westminster Pier Park and the Fraser River Discovery Centre. The park design responds directly to the public engagement process that informed the 2019 Riverfront Park Master Plan. The smaller of the two spaces is a passive park nestled between the two Pier West residential towers. The larger, active park space is located between the east tower and the original Westminster Pier Park, featuring a plaza with in-ground spray nozzles (that may be turned off during events for a period of time), an outdoor fitness circuit, ping pong tables, a dog relief area, hammocks, extensive seating and picnic tables, lawn areas, a performance stage, specialized lighting, and public art. Public washrooms will be coming to the site later this fall.
