PNE Amphitheatre

The PNE is building a new, state-of-the-art outdoor Amphitheatre with a capacity of approximately 10,000. Nestled in the ‘Heart of the Park’ with stunning panoramic views of the North Shore mountains, this world-class open-air venue will provide much needed mixed-use venue space for top-tier concerts, arts and culture programming, community events, sports events, and more.

As of August 16, 2024.

As of July 2024 

Miller Drive 

• Miller Drive will be CLOSED to all traffic from 7am – 3pm on July 29 for the installation of a discharge line across the roadway. Traffic is encouraged to detour via Bridgeway/McGill/Hastings St as necessary.
• Miller Drive currently allows for one way alternating traffic controlled by a traffic light at either end.
• A dedicated cyclist and pedestrian lane is being maintained south of the roadway in affected area. Should construction works necessitate temporarily disabling the pedestrian lane, cyclists and pedestrians will be redirected along the road when traffic control personnel are onsite and it is safe to do so. We encourage cyclists and pedestrians to find alternative routes through or around the park during this time of re-development.
• A possible closure of Miller Drive may be required in the Fall/Winter of 2024, with exact dates to be communicated in advance here.
• Miller Drive water main and sanitary upgrade work is beginning in July and will continue through the fall.
