874

hectares of parkland in the Pacific Spirit Park

Established in 1908, the University of British Columbia is the oldest university in the province. The surrounding neighbourhood and community are the results of a decade of careful planning and building.

UBC lays claim to Vancouver’s famous clothing-optional Wreck Beach.

Watch college football at Thunderbird Stadium, walk through beautiful Japanese flowers at the UBC Botanical Garden and explore Indigenous history at the MoA. The community itself is full of luxury homes and manicured gardens, and the area has well-positioned amenities where one can shop, eat, and explore.
