What people say

People like:
Short walks, picnic spots and waterfront views.
Nice little place to walk over and sit around. Very very busy and crowded most of the times so not much chance to enjoy it yourself tho.
Google reviewer
Small secluded island great for a quiet picnic overlooking Yaletown.
