Champlain Heights
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHA : Champlain Heights
Champlain Heights is a neighbourhood in the municipality of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Champlain Heights was one of the last areas of Vancouver to be urbanized. Located in the extreme south eastern corner of Vancouver, Champlain Heights is often closely associated to the neighbourhoods of Killarney and Fraserview and consists mainly of various townhouse complexes and co-op housing units.
It is not uncommon for visitors to Champlain Heights to get lost due to the numerous winding tree-lined streets and cul-de-sacs.
Everett Crowley Park, a 40-hectare park (the city's 5th largest) and a former city dump, is located in the area. The park is named after Everett Crowley, former city planner and parks board commissioner.
Land Ownership/Realty Notes
The majority of the Champlain Heights area is leasehold property, with a 99-year lease with the City of Vancouver.
