Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Das olympische Dorf bot während der Olympischen Spiele 2010 rund 2800 Athleten Platz (der Rest war in "Whistler" untergebracht) und wurde - wie heutzutage üblich - nach den Spielen an die Stadt für die Schaffung von Wohnraum übergeben.
Die Überbauung bekam für ihr innovatives nachhaltiges Design zwar eine Auszeichnung, dennoch verlief der geplante Verkauf der Wohnungen zuerst eher schleppend, da die seinerzeitige Immobilienkrise oftmals keine Übereinstimmung der gegenseitigen Preisvorstellungen erzeugte.
Nichts, wo man unbedingt hin müsste....(außer man ist eh am Schlendern am False Creek.!

...with little evidence of its famous past. Please don't let the local moniker fool you - there is virtually nothing to indicate this is the area where the Olympic athletes were billeted. You WILL see a very attractive area to live situated in walking/cycling distance to downtown. The public square is particularly interesting, with its pubs, people watching, and public art displays.

We took the ferry here to the Science World stop and hit out hoping to find the remaining of the Olympics. We found a lot of buildings with flats. We could not find anything to tell us a little of the history the area.
Built as the home for 2800 athletes during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, this glassy waterfront development became the city's newest neighborhood once the sporting types went home.
Don't forget to see the area's two gigantic bird sculptures. Giant sparrow sculptures by artist Myfanwy MacLeod.

This end of Vancouver is probably where I would want to live, if I lived here. It just seemed less congested, had nice parks, was serviced by mass transit, and just looked so clean and pleasant.
We took the False Creek Ferry here to the Science World stop and got out to look for anything remaining of the Olympics. But, after the Olympics, the area went through a massive redevelopment and all the temporary Olympics events and places were dismantled. Progress stops for no one.
Things get really crowded and hectic around Granville Island and it was so refreshing to find some peacefulness out this way.

Based on most of the reviews for this attraction, it would appear folks come hoping to find some significant nod to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics . . . and then leave disappointed when they’re met with a bunch of condos. I don’t blame them for their disappointment. I’ve patronized this neighbourhood numerous times over the years and it still underwhelms. Don’t get me wrong: It’s a beautiful area – a far cry from what it used to be – but the lack of any sort of historical write-up, I think, is what “underwhelms.” When you come here, you probably know the condos were built to host the athletes and coaches participating in the 2010 Olympics, but there’s not much to contextualize it. The condos are just there, adjacent the False Creek Seawall. There’s not much directly referencing the important role this area played in “the games” less the name (“Olympic Village”), street sign (“Athletes Way”), and a congratulatory plaque honouring Millennium Development Group. In my view, that’s some pretty thin sauce, but then there’s always the Olympic Cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza, I guess . . .
Okay, rant done. The history of this neighbourhood – while only paid lip service at Olympic Village – is quite interesting. Knowing about it, I think, enriches one’s appreciation of the area. In a nutshell, this is a former industrial site, which mostly consisted of parking lots and some equipment. This seemingly distant past is paid homage to via nearby Hinge Park (also part of the Olympic Village neighbourhood). If you patronize this 2.3 acre park, the theme of “industrialization” makes itself all too evident. Does it enhance the area or detract from it? While some might poo-poo the concept, I personally enjoy it. It highlights, in a graphic and not to be forgotten way, what this area looked like in the days of yore while concomitantly demonstrating why we should do all we can to protect the environment. It’s beautiful, in its own way, and Olympic Village is all the better for it.
Inching closer to the more recent past, the Olympic Village we see today was built between 2006 and 2009. When the “Athletes Village” – as it was known at the time – housed the coaches and athletes for the 2010 games, this area was still relatively undeveloped, save for the housing units and a couple of small shops. It was only after the games concluded, and VANOC “returned” Olympic Village to the city, that a big push for further development was made. It took some time (businesses were initially hesitant), but within a few years of the games ending, Olympic Village began to look like the thriving mixed-use community we see today: Residential units (the “Olympic Village”), numerous shops and restaurants (think Ophelia Mexican Kitchen or Tap & Barrel).
In the current day, while I lament the lack of any significant nod to “2010,” I will nevertheless concede that Olympic Village is a nice place to visit – especially if you happen to be walking along the Seawall. While here, you can enjoy a bite to eat at one of the aforementioned restaurants; visit a shop; or admire some of the public art found along Olympic Village Square. Macleod’s “The Birds” is certainly eye-catching (see my earlier review on this site), as is the First Nations imagery. Once considered by some to be a failed Olympic-era project, this place is now a proverbial hub!

Cela prends quelques minutes pour faire le tour du village olympique. Par contre le site est très beau. On peut y voir les appartements qui a l’époque ont été utilisés pour abriter les athlètes et des cafés et restaurants. Pour nous récompenser d’avoir autant marché pour nous y rendre, nous avons dégusté une palette de bières au Brewhall. C’était bien. Pas très loin se trouve le musée des sciences. Une bonne idée de combiner les deux.

The walkway from Habitat Park, through Hinge Park, along the Village Dock area and onto the walkway beyond Science World to Creekside Park allows a very full view of the many activities, entertainment and food availability possible Food on 2nd Avenue , Main Street, Keefer Street and right there in Olympic Village )..the broadview of Downtown Vancouver and False Creek Views allows one to sit in one of the many benches and relax while appreciating the beauty of Vancouver that unfolds..

À part les anciens dortoirs, convertis en blocs à condos, il n'y a aucune mention sur les jeux olympiques. Je pensais que j'allais voir au moins les anneaux olympiques.
C'est toutefois un bel endroit pour se promener, tout autour de False Creek.

It’s a nice place but I expected more about the Olympics. It’s a good view of the science center, and most waterside spots are gorgeous in Vancouver.

バンクーバーに滞在中こちらのエリアを訪ねました。バンクーバーオリンピックの選手村だったという場所は再開発により今ではおしゃれな街になっていました。カフェや物販店も有り散策が楽しかったです。

how far is the Olympic village from the train station? Planning to visit in February for an event
Skrevet 27. november 2016
Depends on which station you're talking about if it's the Canada Line Olympic Village skytrain station you are technically about 3 blocks away from the seawall walk where if you walk eastward to the Telus Science Centre ball it's another 7 minute walk.
If you are coming to the Via Rail Pacific Central actual train station you'll see the Telus Science Centre ball from the front of the station which is a block and a half away.
If you end up going on the other Skytrain line and end up stopping at the Main street station you'll also see the Telus ball and the walk is only a few minutes from there.
