The benches all face the ocean and provide a wonderful view of Lions Gate Bridge and the north shore.
#181: Harbour View Park
If you enjoy looking at giant shipping containers with mountains as a backdrop, this is probably the superior choice among the Wall Street pocket parks.
#186: Bates Park
To call it a “park” is a stretch. It’s mostly a small collection of short, somewhat patchy trails that connect with the Trans-Canada Trail and Burnaby’s Montrose Park.

The unique pedestrian and cycling path is helpful, and is certainly an upgrade over the gravel parking lot that used to sit there.
