False Creek is an inlet at the heart of Vancouver. It is ringed by the Seawall: a path and park system which celebrates the city's proximity to the water. Ice cream, dog walking, sun bathing, and a farmers market only a short walk from your apartment: this is part of why Vancouver is consistently voted one of the most liveable cities in the world.
