Hikers and cyclists can travel non-stop for hours, enjoying spectacular visuals of the Gulf Islands and the North Shore mountains; or take it slowly and enjoy the many park benches and picnic tables along the way. Some may take time out to appreciate the raw power and elegant grace of jumbo jets as they take off and land a few hundred yards from their picnic blankets.

On returning to Garry Point Park take time to review the endless parade of fish boats, massive freighters, pleasure crafts, and other working boats as they ply the waters of the Fraser River. See people flying kites and windsurfing. Share a park bench with an old salt, and your lunch with the local seagulls and pigeons. Or just crash on the beach, awaking in time for a picnic or wiener roast with the kids and the family dog.

For the seafood gourmet there is the Steveston Village Dock, bristling with the masts of sailboats and the superstructures of fish boats. In summer it attracts hordes of seafood lovers who converge on the Public Market Float for fresh salmon, halibut, sole, and lobster, or dine at one of Steveston’s many fine restaurants. Those seeking solitude, shade, or a brief, guided tour of the 1913 Interurban Streetcar will discover Steveston Park at No.1 Road and Moncton, just a short walk from the Dock. There you will find the recently renovated children’s playground, Steveston Community Centre, a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, gymnasium, lacrosse box, baseball diamond, the renowned Steveston Martial Arts Centre, and the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre.

There are many more reasons for choosing the Steveston area as your home, including proximity to elementary and high schools, a competent, progressive city council, excellent hospital and medical facilities, a wide choice of condominiums, townhouses, and homes, and of course, affordability. To lead you through Richmond and Steveston’s maze of lots, homes, mortgage lenders and builders you need someone who “has been there and done that.”
