The riverside walk at the New Westminster Quay, known as the Waterfront Esplanade, is a scenic, flat promenade along the Fraser River—perfect for walking, cycling, or relaxing by the water. Stretching about 2 km, it offers river views with tugboats, floating logs, and Mount Baker in the distance. The path is lined with gardens, benches, public art, and interpretive signs highlighting the area’s maritime and industrial history. Along the way, you’ll pass the River Market, cafés, playgrounds, and an off-leash dog area, making it lively yet peaceful. Easily accessible from the SkyTrain, it’s one of Metro Vancouver’s most charming urban waterfront walks, blending city energy with a calm riverside atmosphere.
