Neighbourhoods of Gibsons: Creekside / Hillcrest

Nine separate neighbourhoods make up Gibsons, BC and each of them have its own personality and feel. Today we’re visiting Creekside-Hillcrest.

Creekside-Hillcrest comes about its name honestly. The elevation from the bottom of the neighbourhood to the top is quite steep but the hill crests near Heritage Playhouse.

The Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department is situated along North Road as is the Ambulance Service Station. There’s a smattering of businesses along Gibsons Way including those in Seaview Place, a large commercial/multi-family property that’s home to Panago Pizza and the Sunshine Coast Salvation Army.

Beyond that, the neighbourhood is largely residential. There are three separate Gibsons Ravine Parks as well as an unnamed park at the corner of Steinbrunner Road and Cascade Crescent.

Because of the neighbourhood’s aforementioned elevation, many residents enjoy ocean, island, and mountain views. Depending on your specific location, you may even be able to see a nighttime view of Vancouver’s lights.
