Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site

Highlight • Structure

This historic site sits right on Richmond's Steveston waterfront, and entrance is free. It's a glimpse back in time to the 1880s community of canneries, boatyards, and homes. These buildings tell the stories of the Chinese, European, First Nations, and Japanese labourers. Visitors can explore the Seine Net Loft, Murakami House, Richmond Boat Builders, the Britannia Shipyard building, stilt houses, and the Chinese Bunkhouse.

Railway Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Railway Greenway is built on the former Lulu Island route of the BC Electric Railroad, which ran from 1905 to 1958. Today, this greenway stretches 5 kilometres from the Britannia Shipyards to where it meets the Middle Arm Dyke Recreational Trail. Along the route, there is a bike pump track, public bathrooms, drinking fountains, community gardens, and bike racks.

Railway Granville Bike Park

Highlight • MTB Park

The Railway Granville Bike Park is centred around a pump track, which is great for kids and beginner bikers. The track is paved with coloured lines that are easy to follow and keep bike traffic flowing safely. This park has benches, a water fountain, street parking but minimal shade, and no restroom. Restrooms can be found across the street at the Thompson Community Centre.
