The seawall through the Olympic Village is totally awesome. This is a bridge over a narrow inlet of water.

Robson Square is awesome. Note the ending platform for the zipline.

You can see the other end of the zipline here, over the courts. And if you squint, you can see people sliding across.

And underneath the street, a rink.
