Oakridge: an ideal home for new immigrants in Vancouver to experience the future urban life.
On the list of countless travelers, Vancouver is a name gently wrapped in mountains and seas. People yearn to ride along the seawall of Stanley Park and feel the breath of the rainforest on Capilano Suspension Bridge. However, the most touching charm of this city may not be confined to the traditional postcard scenery, but lies in its frontier exploration of continuous evolution and re-weaving nature and urban civilization.

As a benchmark for urban renewal, Oakridge Park Oak Ridge has pushed this integration to a new height. This large-scale comprehensive project, known as the "heart of urban new culture", is a huge urban renewal plan in Vancouver's history and is expected to officially open in March this year.

It has transformed from a commercial district with a long history into a "vertical garden city" with a total scale of dozens of acres, which combines ecological parks, culture and art, high-end businesses and livable communities. For travelers, Oak Ridge provides a unique perspective: after visiting classic landmarks, walk into a model room of a "city of the future" and experience the depth and breadth of Vancouver's philosophy of life.

Deep Focus: Oak Ridge, a Growing "Urban Taoyuan"
The birth of Oak Ridge originated from a grand vision of urban renewal. It is not satisfied with becoming another shopping center, but determined to become the core of Vancouver's urban new culture, a life destination where residents and visitors can immerse themselves and linger all day.
1. Core: An ecological park covering about 9 acres.
This is the green heart of the whole project. Different from ordinary ornamental greening, a complete urban forest is planned here, with nearly 1,500 trees and tens of thousands of local plants, forming a natural oxygen bar in the city. The park has been carefully designed:
1 km long circular runway and promenade, running through the forest, suitable for morning running or leisurely walking; Rich community gardens and public gardening spaces show Vancouver people's love for land and planting; The open amphitheater and lawn provide suitable places for summer concerts, open-air movies and community gatherings; Many children's play areas and waterscape interactive facilities allow family tourists to have fun.

This park is not closed, but open to the public free of charge all year round, which truly realizes the integration of "private enjoyment of greenery" and "public welfare".
2. Experience: One-stop culture, food and shopping destination
Oak ridge has raised the exquisiteness and convenience of the city to a new height.
Cultural landmark: A brand-new Vancouver public library branch and community art center have been set up here, and exhibitions, workshops and lectures are held regularly, becoming the meeting point of ideas and creativity.
Gourmet Hall: The high-profile Time Out Market food market has settled here, gathering more than a dozen local famous chefs and a number of restaurants recommended by food evaluation. Visitors can taste the essence of food along the Pacific coast in a space full of design, from French baking, Japanese sushi and Italian pizza to authentic Vietnamese rice noodles.

Shopping Corridor: The project has introduced many internationally renowned brands and local Canadian designer shops, providing both breadth and depth shopping options from fashion clothes to home life.
3. Texture: age-friendly community and seamless traffic.
The design of Oak Ridge deeply reflects the concern for "people".
Transportation hub: The community is seamlessly connected with Oak Ridge-41st Street Station of Vancouver overhead train (overhead crane), and it takes about 20 minutes to get to the city center. For tourists, this means that it is extremely convenient to explore from the airport or the city center.

All-age facilities: an advanced community center is planned and built in the community, including gymnasium, swimming pool and fitness facilities; The supporting day care center and the public space design close to the family make it full of life.
Wisdom and sustainability: The project widely adopts green building technology, including rainwater recycling, green roof and energy-saving system, which is a window to experience Vancouver's leading environmental protection concept.
From Scenery to Scene: Redefining Vancouver Tour
The traditional trip to Vancouver is to explore the mountains and seas; The journey in Oak Ridge is to explore a city's ideal about future life. What it shows you is no longer an isolated scenic spot, but an organic, complete and vibrant life scene.
Here, you can take part in a yoga class in the urban forest in the morning, read a book about the history of the Pacific Northwest coast in the library in the afternoon, share delicious dishes with friends in the food market in the evening, and stroll along the park trails dotted with lights at night. This completeness of "participation, experience and immersion" is the unique charm of Oak Ridge as a travel destination.
