Location Information:
We are located at the east side of the Jericho Sailing Centre compound on 1300 Discovery St, Vancouver, BC.
Our location is equipped with changerooms and a small storage space. There are washrooms available as well as showers available in the Sailing Centre.
How to get here
Buses #4, #44 and #84 stop on 4th Avenue at Marine Drive. From there it is about a 10-15min walk to our location. Please visit the Translink website to plan your trip from a specific location.
Biking
We are easily accessible by bike and it’s a really nice ride through the park and along the beaches to our location.
We have bike parking right in front of our gate, but it does fill up fairly quickly.
There are additional bike racks (typically with more space) in front of the sailing centre building.
Parking
Pay parking is available at the parking lot of the Jericho Sailing Centre operated by Easy Park.
Limited free street parking is available along Marine Drive (5-10 min walk).
As of July 2024 the city has decided to make all parking along the beaches pay parking. What used to be free parking now is charged at $1/h.
