Yaletown Roundhouse Turntable Crane

Have you wondered why there’s a huge red crane at the Yaletown Roundhouse Community Centre?

The Roundhouse Turntable Plaza, on Drake St & Pacific Blvd, was originally constructed to turn trains around as they finished their routes through Vancouver in Yaletown. Now this historic public plaza is being upgraded to create a plaza suitable for sitting, shelter from rain, and create a stronger sense of place.

This  upgraded plaza will also host exciting special events and performances!

Check it out! The new Yaletown Roundhouse Turntable plaza opens May 20, 2012
