Neighbourhood Guide

Killarney

East Side, Vancouver

Killarney is a quiet neighbourhood lined with small shopping plazas and residential cul-de-sacs.  It also boasts some of the largest green space in Vancouver.

Diversity runs strong and true in Killarney.

One of the latest communitys to be developed in East Vancouver, Killarney is about as close to an ethnic melting pot as you can get.

Killarney sits on the south-facing slope overlooking the Fraser River. Out here in East Vancouver, the cost of housing tends to be more reasonable, but without being too far from downtown and the city centre. And as one of Vancouver’s newer neighborhoods, it feels a bit closer to nature and a little less congested.

On The Map

Killarney is located on the east side of Vancouver and bordered by Collingwood, Champlain Heights, Fraserview, Knight, Victoria and Boundary Road.

Get Outside

Locals are spoiled with all the green space in the neighbourhood.

The largest park in the community is at the Killarney Community Centre, but there are lots of other choices in the area.

We’ll touch on the community centre soon, but for now let’s stick with the outdoors, where you have tennis courts, a running track, football field and an off-leash dog park. Other parks in the area include Gordon Park with ball diamonds, and Nanaimo Park to the north.

The 5th largest park in Vancouver, Everett Crowley Park is a green sanctuary with a network of trails, winding through a transitional forest and urban wilderness. It’s located just east of the border of Killarney and an excellent place to take your pooch for an off leash walk to escape the city.
