I went there to buy something at Staples, easy to parking just in front of the store. The plaza have plenty of stores, from pharmacy, liquor, clinic, goodwill, Canadian tire, dollarama and so on. Very well located.
I go to the Beacon Heights shopping centre only when I need one of the shops or services. I go unwillingly because the accesses are terribly inconvenient, and the parking lot is crowded.
Claustrophobic'E if you go on a weekend and peak hours, good luck finding a spot and even more of a challenge when u want to leave.but locally convenient if your walking there.
