So, let me walk you through what a perfect day in Lower Lonsdale could look like, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll see why your next home should be right here!



Morning Fun at The Shipyards Splash Park

First up, let’s talk about the Shipyards Splash Park. If you’ve got kids, this place is a must-visit. Picture this: a sunny morning, your little ones laughing as they dart between fountains and streams, cooling off while you sip on a coffee from a nearby café. The park is right on the waterfront, giving you stunning views of the city skyline while your kids play. It’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like you’re on vacation, even if it’s just a regular Saturday.

A Stroll Along the City's Spirit Trail

After the splash park, why not take a leisurely walk along the Spirit Trail? This multi-use path is perfect for strollers, bikes, and scooters. You can enjoy a peaceful stroll with the family, take in the fresh sea air, and soak up the incredible views of Burrard Inlet. The trail winds through parks and offers plenty of spots to stop and enjoy a picnic. It’s a great way to connect with nature while staying close to home.
