Park Royal Shopping Centre, also known as simply Park Royal, opened in 1950, is a shopping mall located in West Vancouver and X̱wemelch'stn, British Columbia, Canada. Park Royal was Canada's first covered shopping mall.[1][2] Park Royal has seen multiple redeveloped projects within the last decade. Notably, in 2014, the district of West Vancouver approved a permit for the "removal of the storefront fabric canopies, faux columns and related ‘nautical’ theme designs"[3] as well as the re-facing of the building to "create a cohesive look between Park Royal North and Park Royal South."[4] The shopping centre was originally anchored by Woodward's.[5]
