I love walking in the Westminster Pier Park on a sunny day. Today was such a day! The downtown city park along the Fraser River has been open for just a few years. It's a very nice addition to our city. It gives us useful public space. I do hope some events occur on the grassy area this summer.
This facility is, quite literally, a stone's throw from here. One could stand on my balcony and chuck a rock into the park. Well a professionally-trained baseball player could probably throw that distance. It is actually on the other side of Columbia Street, Front Street, and the rail tracks.
In the local newspaper I noted that a planned, 4th-Street bridge from the New West parkade had been given the go-ahead. Finally. I look forward to its construction and completion by the autumn. Although I can see the park from my balcony, I have to hike about a mile to get to it presently. The new bridge over the tracks will make it much more accessible.
Our apartment is in the building at the center of this image.
