Coal Harbour is a relatively new office area neighbourhood in Vancouver, and it is considered to be part of Downtown Vancouver. The area starts at Canada Place and bounded by Stanley Park to the west, Burrard Inlet to the north, and West Georgia Street to the south. It is a charming mix of business and residential, as you can find the Vancouver Convention Center, Canada Place and skyscrapers in the area along with small neighbourhood cafés and restaurants and the Seawall. You’ll see both locals and tourists sit down and enjoy the view of Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains across the water, the yachts and the seaplanes with which you can go for a “flightseeing” tour over the city. However, Stanley Park is not the only green space in this part of the city, visitors can enjoy a relaxing day in Harbour Green Park as well. Jack Poole Plaza is also located in Coal Harbour. The opening ceremony of the 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games took place here while nowadays it’s the home of art installations and exhibitions and restaurants. Speaking about art, there are several public art installations across the area, especially along the Seawall which you can enjoy while walking or biking there. In short, Coal Harbour is a very nice area and also a good starting point to explore nearby districts like West End and Gastown.
