where is bonsor park?

i will guess its before skytrain

Millennium2002 · #**1702** Posted **Apr 13, 2011, 7:58 AM**

Bonsor Park and Bonsor Recreation Centre are located at this site:

http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=49.223603,-122.996278&spn=0.004499,0.008272&t=h&z=17

The recreation centre entrance is denoted by the blue glass and faces a parking lot and the park itself, but there's no entrance towards the mall and people have to walk around the building in that case. Seems like either a design oversight to me or the building must predate SkyTrain. =O

In any case I hope they rebuild part of it in the future so it's more connected with the surrounding streets and the mall entrance.

FYI: the POOL part of that complex .... aka the part closest to the Mall ..... is the ORIGINAL part of that complex ..... the "Rec Center" was added onto it therefor it could not have its main entrance where the pool is now .....

looking at it here >> http://goo.gl/maps/8LXN

you can see the new and old .... old being the NW sector of the complex

Millennium2002 · #**1704** Posted **Apr 13, 2011, 8:14 AM**

Okay. Just wondering. ^^; Hopefully when they rebuild it in the distant future they can reorient it a bit. =O

SpikePhanta · #**1707** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 1:25 AM**

The Chancellor, A user in the Metroplace thread has the details on it.

SpongeG · #**1708** Posted **Apr 16, 2011, 7:28 PM**

^It's good to see Uptown New West hasn't been forgotten with all the action in Downtown/Sapperton!

Sorry for the appalling quality of these pics (moving car ftw) of The Shaughnessy in Poco, but not too sorry seeing as how these are the first on this site

My only criticism of this project is the fact that they didn't bury this parkade... (or is it too close to the Coquitlam River?)

M1 is going up startlingly quickly

Grand Central 2 has had its first level poured

And finally the Tri City News got their hands on a rendering of one of Polygon's two proposed towers for Windsor Glen (continuation of Windsor Gate):

^ Looks similar to Polygon's other project on Kingsway in burnaby.

And that one in turn is almost identical to their 2008 project Watercolours in Brentwood...

Metro-One · #**1716** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 2:40 AM**

The glass has just started going up on the Shaughnessy:

Pearl, further south up Shaughnessy. Low-rise condos like this are quickly taking over the area:

North Burnaby development site that will have a pretty nice view:
