They are on the same spot. In the false creek you can take the little boat ferry transfer.

Also, Yaletown Roundhouse station.

Begining at the gazebo in Creekside Park head north towards Science World along the seawall Follow the seawall along the northeast side of False Creek past Rogers Arena and BC Place Walk through Cooper's Park and under the Cambie St bridge On the west side of the Cambie St bridge you will find Marinaside Crescent, turn north and follow the signs to the pedestrian path over the bridge On the south side of the Cambie Street bridge take the stairs down to the seawall, an accessible option is available by continuing along the bridge until W 2nd Ave and then heading back to the seawall along Spyglass Place Follow the seawall east to the Olympic Village Complete your walk at the gazebo in Creekside Park

I would think it is very easy..they have water taxis you can take across the water, from Granville Island to the main land...taxis are ok and the bus system in amazing...our son lives there and he takes the buses everywhere. Good luck!
