NEIGHBOURHOOD

About the Quadra Neighbourhood

Quadra has a character that appeals to a fairly diverse group of people. Even though the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this area with its a few nightlife venues, there are options for nighttime activities. Quadra is very quiet, as the streets are usually very tranquil. Public green spaces, including Topaz Park and Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary, are especially well-located and there are over 50 of them close by for residents to unwind in, making them very easy to reach.
