Park Royal Shopping Centre
Taylor Way and Marine Drive
West Vancouver
604-922-3211
Park Royal has the distinction of being Canada's first mall. It is located just
west of the Lions Gate Bridge in West Vancouver at the corner of Taylor Way and
Marine Drive. Park Royal currently markets itself as five star shopping and has
undergone significant changes to attain this.
Park Royal's more than 250 shops and services include A Wear, a popular
Vancouver fashion label, Le Chateau, popular with teens, Roots, Aveda, Aritzia,
a very popular women's boutique, and several sporting goods stores.
To get to Park Royal, cross the Lions Gate Bridge. When you exit the bridge, go
west to the first intersection, and you're there. From Horseshoe Bay, go south
at the Taylor Way exit to Marine Drive. Park Royal is on your right in two
buildings one on either side of Marine Drive at the corner of Taylor Way.
The mall is physically divided into two locations by Marine Drive, a major
thoroughfare on the North Shore. The two sides are aptly named North Mall and
South Mall, and are connected by overhead vehicle and pedestrian overpasses
spanning over Marine Drive.
The
Village at Park Royal
In late 2004, The Village was opened as an expansion of the South Mall, allowing
for more stores and retail services. The Village is Canada's first lifestyle
centre specifically designed for the affluent West Vancouver market, where all
the retail locations offer mid to upscale lifestyle services. The Village is
unique in that it aims to replicate the experience found at Whistler Village,
where consumers are predominantly in the open-air (outside) to browse the
stores. Home Depot's first Canadian urban concept store is located at The
Village. It features pre-built fully furnished rooms and other customizable
household furnishings for consumers to choose from.
