Oakridge Park is a reimagined and redeveloped version of Oakridge Mall. Modernized for city sensibilities, it plans to offer a range of shopping, food, entertainment, and living.
“Living here puts you right in the cultural heart of Vancouver,” says the website. Besides being surrounded by the development’s retailers, restaurants, and live music venues, there are also plenty of parks and schools in the area to keep everything very convenient for folks.
May 28 is the official opening date of Oakridge Park and Time Out Market, a food and cultural hub that invites the city’s best food and drinks under one roof. At 11:00am, you can attend the opening ceremony and enjoy tons of amazing freebies that Time Out Market is offering. This will take place over five days of giveaways, starting on opening day.
Here’s what you have to look forward to:
- Thursday: Free Chicken Nuggets for the first 100 guests to visit DownLow
- Friday: Free Grilled Beef Skewer for the first 100 guests to visit MeeBar
- Saturday: Free Pintxos for the first 100 guests to visit España

What’s Open?
Not everything is technically open on opening day. Around 100 retailers and restaurants will be ready in the first phase, which includes Time Out Market and a major retailer, Sporting Life.
The Safeway grocery store, as well as a BC Liquor store, will not be ready for Thursday. In spite of this, there will still be plenty of luxury retailers and good bites for shoppers to explore in the mall.
