Westminster Quay / Pier Park
More infoNew Westminster's riverfront is two quietly great free dates in one. Walk Westminster Pier Park's long boardwalk right along the working Fraser, all tugboats, gulls, and the old rail bridge in a genuinely underrated late-day glow. Then duck into the River Market at the Quay, a free-to-enter indoor hall of food stalls and makers where you can graze without committing to a menu. Ten SkyTrain minutes, no car required.
Walk the long boardwalk along the working Fraser River, tugboats, gulls, the old rail bridge and an underrated end-of-day glow, then duck into the indoor River Market to graze without committing to a full meal. Browsing costs nothing; a shared snack costs little. It's a straight walk from the SkyTrain (part of the park is mid-expansion through 2026, but boardwalk and Market are open). Walk the river first, budget about 90 minutes, then warm up in the Market.
