With uses ranging from waterfront industry and marine activity to residential, retail and public spaces, the City's waterfront is a significant asset to the community. Strategically situated along nearly six kilometres of Burrard Inlet, with spectacular views of downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains, the waterfront is both a tremendous location and a gateway to the Greater Vancouver region. The City's Central Waterfront has been transformed into an exciting and unique community destination, delivering on Council's vision to create a family, arts and entertainment focused area. The waterfront is a striking venue for countless community events, concerts and markets, including the popular Shipyards Night Market, Summer Sessions Concert Series, the City's annual Christmas Festival and other events year round.
The Shipyards, a defining aspect of the City's identity and development is the soul of the City's Central Waterfront. A community gathering place for events and celebrations.
The City of North Vancouver's waterfront piers and docks are unique spaces in the City, as well as on the North Shore. The City's piers and docks are safe, accessible, pedestrian-friendly public spaces.
