Deep
Cove is the easternmost part of the North Shore, and
includes the neighbourhoods of Cove Cliff, Dollarton,
Parkgate, Indian Arm and Woodlands. It is a fjord
located at the entrance to Indian Arm and surrounded
by lush rain forest on the slopes of Mount
Seymour Provincial Park. Deep Cove is an
attractive beachfront village with a charming retail
centre. Once known as Deepwater, this was a popular
summer resort for Vancouver residents in the 1910s,
with cabins, logging and granite quarrying featuring
in the local history. Today, the cove itself is home
to a park and a marina, and is popular for its east
exposure and great morning sun..
It's a solid drive from Vancouver, giving residents
a relaxed "vacation" feel which seems to
bring with it high prices and mostly
upper-middle-income inhabitants. Because its on the
lee slope of a mountain, it gets a lot of rain and
little sunshine.
The population slowly grew in the 1960s and 1970s,
when access to the area improved following the
completion of the Second Narrows Bridge to Vancouver
in 1960.
Indian River is a fairly newly developed area on the
eastern flank of Mount Seymour, along Indian River
Road. Home here have views of Indian Arm. Northlands
has large, luxurious family homes built around the
new Northlands Golf Course, to the west. Mount
Seymour Parkway.
Deep
Cove is served by Cove
Cliff Elementary School, Sherwood
Park Elementary and Seycove
Secondary School, and students participating in
the French immersion program attend nearby Argyle
Secondary School or Dorothy
Lynas Elementary School.
Gallant Avenue and Panorama Drive are the heart of shopping
& dining
in Deep Cove. There's even a community theatre
well known for its stage productions. There are a
number of quaint stores in Deep Cove, though the
Dollar Shopping Centre is about a mile away on the
Dollarton Highway. Up the Mount Seymour Parkway from
Dollarton Highway, locals can grocery shop at the
Parkgate Village Shopping Centre
The
Deep Cove Bike
Shop brought the first mountain bikes to
Vancouver in the early 1980s, for outdoor
enthusiast's to enjoy the area's forests, mountains
and trails. The Baden
Powell Trail starts here, leading up to the Quarry
Rock lookout. Picnicking is popular in Panorama
Park, with folks grabbing food from the local
deli, pizza joint or donut shop. Of course there is
skiing (in winter) and mountain biking (in summer)
on Mount
Seymour.
The Community Centre with an art gallery, stage, and
archive is also well-visited. There is golfing at
the public Seymour Golf Course, and more recreation
activities are centered around Cates
Park to the south.
Nearby are two golf courses, the Seymour
Golf and Country Club and the brand-new Northlands
Golf Course.
