Downtown Toronto – View from Shangri-la Hotel (North)

CRAB is an acronym that stands for Create a Real Available Beach. It refers to a grassroots committee of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside residents who lobbied for public water access in the 1980s. CRAB Park nestled between the Downtown Vancouver and the Port of Vancouver was established to create a Park on the city’s northern edge along the Burrard Inlet. The area has evolved to become one of the largest parks along the shores of the Burrard Inlet with dozens of interesting views to see from the piers and along the walkways that weave through the grassy meadows and trees along the park.
