Parker Place

Parker Place

Parker Place (百家店) is a shopping mall in Richmond, British Columbia. It is located on No. 3 Road, in the middle of Richmond's Golden Village, the main Asian district. It is primarily a mall to serve the Asian-Canadian population.

It contains about 150 stores, including the new wing built in the mid-1990s named Parker Place Phase II (with the original portion deemed Parker Place Phase I). Most of its stores are mid-sized and there are no real dominant tenants.

Parking spaces are located around the mall as well as the rooftop which are usually filled to capacity during weekends or during special events.

The food court contains a water fountain, which can be shut down and converted to a stage during special events.

Public transit buses, serviced by TransLink, have connections to the mall, with additional routes to downtown Vancouver, Delta and New Westminster. It is also served by the 98 B-Line, a bus rapid transit line to Vancouver International Airport and downtown Vancouver; the Parker Place stop is called Aberdeen. When the Canada Line is completed, Parker Place can be accessible by rapid transit, by walking a short distance from Aberdeen Station.
