As part of a high rise residential tower on Lower Lonsdale (North Vancouver), this multi-level community recreation project adds to the Rogers Plaza pedestrian network. Providing youth and senior’s social spaces, craft workshops, gymnasium, and fitness activities on several vertical levels, the centre provides a well-loved community amenity to the neighbourhood.
