Waterfront Park

Nature Takes Center Stage

Stretching along the Columbia River, Waterfront Park is the heart of The Waterfront Vancouver—a place to walk, gather, play and take in the view.

With open lawns, public seating, the Grant Street Pier, The Headwaters Water Feature and connections to the Renaissance Trail, it’s one of Vancouver’s most popular outdoor spaces.

Incredible River Access

Canadian-based park designer PWL Partnership Landscape Architects designed the Waterfront Park including expansive open spaces throughout the development.

The central focus of the Waterfront Park is the elegant Grant Street Pier designed by world renowned public artist Larry Kirkland. The pier does not rely on traditional pilings for support. Instead, the pier is suspended some 90 feet over the river from cables, creating a dramatic and accessible experience.

Fisher Marantz Stone, an award winning architectural lighting design firm with over 3,500 notable projects around the world, teamed with PWL Partnership Landscape Architects and Larry Kirkland to design a unique and inspired lighting design for the state-of-the-art waterfront park and its focal points and features.
