City officials over in New Westminster are close to finalizing plans to develop an urban beach along the riverbanks of Westminster Pier Park.

Such installations have taken place across the globe in cities like Paris, Berlin, Manchester, and Toronto. Beach goers could be lounging riverside as early as this summer.
