Olympic Village is located south of Science World at the most eastern point of False Creek. It is the last stop of the False Creek Ferry and Aquabus. It is also home to the Creekside Paddling Centre and the Dragon Zone Paddling club. This is not a beach for swimming, but is included as a recreation site for all sorts of activities including kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing.
Situated on the bustling Seawall system, the Olympic Village area is a great spot to experience Vancouver’s active waterfront. With a view of Vancouver’s downtown and the north shore mountains, lounge on public benches or by the water and watch paddlers, boaters, kayakers, and dragon boats float by.
There is also a public short-term dock (Science World Dock) available for dinghies at the furthest southeast corner of False Creek.
