Lansdowne Park Shopping Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lansdowne Park Shopping Centre (more commonly known as Lansdowne Centre) is a shopping mall in Richmond, British Columbia. Officially, it is located on No. 3 Road but it stretches as far north as Alderbridge Road, as far south as Lansdowne Road and as far east as Kwantlen Street.
By the number of stores, it is the second largest mall in Richmond with 110 stores and services; it is the largest in terms of area. Its anchor stores are Best Buy, Future Shop, Zellers, Toys "R" Us, Home Hardware, Home Outfitters and Winners.
Public transit, serviced by TransLink, has connections to the mall with routes to downtown Vancouver, New Westminster and the University of British Columbia. The 98 B-Line, a rapid transit line from Richmond Centre to Vancouver International Airport and downtown Vancouver, has two stops servicing the mall, named Lansdowne and Alderbridge. The mall will be serviced by the Canada Line when construction finishes in 2009.
The mall was built on a former horse-racing track, named Lansdowne Park, from which the mall was named after.
