Help create a 30-year vision for the West End waterfront!

Help the Vancouver Park Board and City of Vancouver imagine the future of the parks, beaches, and connections to and through the areas that make up the West End Waterfront, commonly known as English Bay, Sunset Beach Park and Beach Ave. This stretch of shoreline is part of the unceded, ancestral, and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation) and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) and is a place of great cultural, spiritual and ecological significance. It is also a key amenity for the many urban Indigenous residents in Vancouver living far away from their homelands.

Where are we now?

We are in the final stages of planning for the next 30 years of the West End waterfront area, which includes English Bay, Sunset Beach Park, Morton Park, Alexandra Park, and Beach Avenue. Imagine West End Waterfront is a long-term vision for the area’s parks, beaches and places we move that will be implemented gradually.

We are currently in engagement Round 3: Draft Concept Design. Based on community input, the Vancouver Park Board and City of Vancouver have developed a draft concept design (PDF, 12.8 MB) for the plan. This design includes elements from the design approaches and ideas (PDF, 14.6 MB) shared in Round 2 engagement, incorporates public input, technical studies and larger trends in the city, such as population growth, climate change and sea level rise, and facilities that are reaching the end of their service life. The draft concept design is a bold vision, and its implementation is subject to future funding and detailed planning/design projects.

Share what you think of the draft concept design, and how you feel it will meet your needs. Your input on the draft concept design will help us refine the design for the final plan, which will be brought to the Park Board and City Council for approval in spring 2024.
