Where Are We in Relation to the Olympic Venues?
As you can see on the map adjacent, * Plum Tree
and * Cottonwood Gardens are "Slap-Bang" in
the middle of the Main Olympic Hub. Any of these
venues are extremely quick and easy to access
from our location.
Plum Tree and Cottonwood Gardens provide
immediate access to the olympic hub of False
Creek, Downtown. Here you will find:
* BC Place
> opening, closing, and nightly ceremonies
* Vancouver Hockey Place / Canada Place
> the central hockey arena
* Olympic & Paralympic Village
> olympic guest housing area
From either Plum Tree or Cottonwood Gardens,
False Creek is only a 5 minute drive or a bus ride
directly from each home, or a beautiful 20 minute
walk through Strathcona. From Eagle's Nest, False
Creek is about 30 minutes to drive, and about 45
minutes by bus.
All of our locations are very close to:
* Pacific Coliseum which hosts events for:
> figure skating
> short track speed skating
This is only 10 minutes from Plum Tree or
Cottonwood Gardens, and 20 minutes from Eagles'
Nest.
At the bottom of the map, you will see;
* The Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Centre
which hosts events for:
> curling
> wheelchair curling
This is about a 20 minute drive from Plum Tree of
Cottonwood Gardens, and about 40 minute drive
from Eagle's Nest. There will also be a surge of new
busses to make access quicker and easier for the
olympic period.
* Eagle's Nest, in its glorious surroundings, is still
only 25 minutes drive to the Downtown Olympic
Hub, and only 10 minutes away from * Mount
Seymour, (where you can ski/snowboard,
toboggan, snowshoe, and more). You can have
access to it all, and return to a serene home at
the end of the day.
* The Olympic Venues
Public transit is immediately accessable from all
locations, and there will be increased services
especially for the olympic events.
Plum Tree and Cottonwood Gardens are located
right next to two of the best routes in the city, which
can take you to almost anywhere in Vancouver with
one change.
BC Place, Vancouver Hockey Place / Canada Place,
Olympic & Paralympic Village, and The Pacific
Coliseum are all just a few stops away without
changing busses.
A 40 minute drive from any of our locations will get
you to:
* Cyprus Mountain, which hosts events for:
> freestyle skiing
> snowboarding
the journey to Cyprus may even seem too short.
along the way are stunning landscapes of The Rocky
Mountains and The Pacific Ocean.
