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!

Pretty cool place. Only fully abandoned in 2010 and now BC Housing owns it. There are quite a few security guards that drive around to ensure no one is taking photos or videos of the place, which we were a little confused about.
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.
Massive old hospital site with many buildings from when it was a mental hospital. Very important part of history in the lower mainland. Now it’s used for lots of filming and the buildings remain in original no renovations so some are in rough m shape. This place is an got an a almost haunted vibe to it especially in crease clinic.
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...
