Welcome to the Riviera of the downtown east side! Mean Streets meets moms out with tots in a living diorama of the gentrification of Gas Town and its neighboring hoods.
While extremely close to Hastings & Main, I actually feel quite a bit safer here, and it's worth stopping by for the unique views of the city, north shore, and port. The park is cleaner than you'd expect and well tended.
The usual route for getting here on foot is most likely taking Water street then Alexander street an taking a left at Main, but if you feel like an odder route you can take the elevator outside the Cactus Club at Canada Place and walk underground along West Waterfront Road to the park. Spooky.
Fun, but more for urban explorers and people watchers than for a day out on the beach.

This park is a good spot for picture taking opportunities as it has great views of Coal Harbour and Vancouver's North Shore. It also is just a few blocks east of Stanley Park so it would be easy to add this on the sightseeing itinerary. This park has excellent waterfront views, so obviously there is a restaurant right by here called The Mill if you would like to dine as well.

Steamworks has been a convenient place to grab a bite with a local beer for a long time! Right next to the skytrain so you can easily plan your evening without finding a designated driver! The food here isn't amazing but it's not bad and the drinks are fine. Prices are average as well. You come here to have a few drinks with friends and not expect too much. The place is huge and it's certain a plus that they have a pool table as we love playing pool while we have a few drinks. Been here multiple times over the years and have never really had a bad experience.

Consolidating Vancouver Public Library's Central Branch, Federal Office Tower, and retail and service facilities, the Library Square occupies a city block in Downtown Vancouver. Centred on the block, the library is a nine-story rectangular box containing book stacks and services, surrounded by a free-standing, elliptical, colonnaded wall featuring reading and study areas that are accessed by bridges spanning skylit light wells. The library's internal glass facade overlooks an enclosed concourse formed by a second elliptical wall that defines the east side of the site. This glass-roofed concourse serves as an entry foyer to the library and the more lively pedestrian activities at ground level. Public spaces surrounding the library form a continuous piazza with parking located below grade. The building's exterior resembles the Flavian Amphitheatre in Rome (better known by its later name of the Colosseum) although in fact the resemblance is to the present rather than original state of the building.[7]
The Library Square Project was the largest capital project ever undertaken by the City of Vancouver. The decision to build the project came after a favourable public referendum in November 1990. The City then held a design competition to choose a design for the new building. The design by Moshe Safdie and DA Architects was by far the most radical design and yet was the public favourite. The inclusion of the 21 story office tower in the design was required in order to pay for it and as part of a deal with the federal government to obtain the land; the federal government has a long term lease on the high rise office tower portion of the project. Construction began in early 1993 and was completed in 1995.
In addition to its function as the central branch of the city's public library system, the one square block project also includes an attached office high-rise, retail shops, restaurants, and underground public parking. The Library building has a rooftop garden designed by Vancouver landscape architect Cornelia Oberlander. The roof garden is not accessible by the public.
