Discover Collingwood VE (Vancouver East)

The Collingwood neighbourhood is the southern half of Collingwood-Renfrew, a neighbourhood defined by the City of Vancouver as Collingwood and Renfrew Heights combined. Collingwood has a mix of housing types ranging from single-family homes to multi-unit residential like duplexes, townhomes and condos. Larger residential developments are focused along the SkyTrain and Kingsway corridors, but the area still retains a family-friendly, suburban charm.

Cultural Experiences & Athletic Leisure

Collingwood’s parks offer plenty of space for community sports such as soccer, tennis, baseball and basketball. To the neighbourhood’s north, Renfrew Ravine is a preserved section of forest framed by city blocks containing many hiking trails and is home to the Moon Festival, a family-friendly event celebrating the autumnal full moon. For foodies there is international and gourmet cuisine for diners seeking new tastes and familiar comfort foods.
