Vancouver Fountains - The Lagoons

1594 Island Park Walk, Vancouver

Everybody who has gone to Granville Island and walked along the waterfront towards under the Granville Street bridge towards Vanier Park has seen The Lagoons. I am sure many have envied the lucky residents of the low-rise waterfront condos facing onto the lagoons and their view of False Creek, the marinas, Granville Island, and downtown Vancouver. Some of these condos at water level have small patios which open directly onto the lagoons like little private docks. These huge bodies of water have plenty of interesting features including weeping willow trees branches dipping into the water, rocks jutting out of the water, water lillies, marshy areas along the edges and smooth placid surfaces, and provide a place for ducks, geese and other waterfowl to loaf.
