Place of the Great Blue Heron

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful acres of land with a fun edge of spooky vibes from the historic buildings and so many movies/tv shows been filmed there.

Another location featured in the X-Files. The one building is sealed off and has become dilapidated over time. Nature is taking over some of the upper balcony. This building interest me the most and I wish I could have gotten inside. The other two building looked maintained but uninteresting. There was a smaller maintenance building. A truck was parked by the garage but we saw no people. It was getting dark so we used a flashlight to see inside beyond the door. Years of decay and peeling paint. Security drove by a couple of times and a film crew working in another area. The park is quiet and the old trees are overgrown with moss. This is the beauty of nature. We hung out for an hour or two, drove around, spoke with some residents walking their dog, checked out the mountains in the distance. As darkness settled, the more fascinating the one building became.

Very peaceful and large area to explore. Come here closer to evening, and you will feel the world slow down around you and be taken back to the past.

Riverview, my favorite bench! Located at the top of Riverview. Best views, quiet but sometimes you see other people. Beautiful landscaping!

It's a beautiful place to walk around. And such a shame BC's government doesn't give a s* to preserve the history of it. A lot of movies amd series are filmed here and you have a great chance to walk in to one of sets any day of the week...

Creepy haunted place but also a nice place to take pictures and video

Beautiful place to visit just off Lougheed Highway. It can be hard to navigate once inside, but you won’t miss the famous (or infamous?) East Lawn building.

What a spectacular and beautiful piece of history, I so wish they still did tours.. for sentimental purposes.Absolutely gorgeous property to walk around, come prepared with a lot of time on your hands because there's a lot distance to cover and everywhere you look there's something that catches your eye.Couldn't go in the main building as they were filming so will have to go back, so worth the trip.

This site was a whole lot bigger than I was expecting before I went. I mean, I was expecting one building and there were many more buildings than that! It was just amazing seeing all the old buildings, and imagining the history that took place in each one of them. The architecture is phenomenal; buildings this old are rare in British Columbia. Security patrols the whole area; it's rare to be somewhere on the lot and not have a security car within view. Go here and take a walk around, taking in the views and maybe relaxing for a bit in the large, still-intact gazebo. Riverview Hospital is just an incredible historical site overall, I highly recommend checking it out!
