Neighbourhood Guide
Champlain Heights
East Side, Vancouver
This walkable neighbourhood boasts three schools, the 5th largest park in Everett Crowley Park, and it’s anchored by the Champlain Heights Community Centre.
One of the last, but definitely not the least.
Champlain Heights was one of the last areas of Vancouver to be urbanized in the 1970s. Since its inception, it has grown into a family oriented community with plenty of amenities.

Champlain Heights is located on the eastern edge of Vancouver and bordered by South Marine, Fraserview and Killarney and Boundary Road.

With over 1/2 the community dedicated to green space, you'll have plenty of room to roam.
Headlining all this wonderful open space is Everett Crowley Park, located on the south-east corner of the community.
The 5th largest park in Vancouver, Everett Crowley Park is a green sanctuary with a network of trails, winding through a transitional forest and urban wilderness. This is an excellent place to take your pooch for an off leash walk and escape the city.
