The Westminster Pier Park Extension will not be completed and official opened until July. There appears to be quite a bit more work to do. However, a partial section opened this week. From our balcony, we could see people walking through the center area, but Jay and I didn't go to take a look until today.
The land was 'donated' by the recently completed Pier West development. It consists of two matching residential towers that stand 43 and 53 stories. This land is adjacent to the existing riverfront park. The two buildings block a chuck of my view down the Fraser River but the new amenities in our downtown neighbourhood definitely increase the livability of the whole area.
As well as regular outside gym equipment I saw the outdoor table tennis installations. When the landscaping is complete, the whole project will be quite nice and only around 500 meters from my living room sofa.
