 Stanley Park, Vancouver's first, is an evergreen
oasis of 1,000 acres close to the heart of Vancouver's downtown core.Be sure to check out the Horse
Drawn
Tours
A myriad of recreational facilities are available in Stanley Park
including a pitch and putt golf course bordered by the spring-blooming
Ted and Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden.
At the Park's heart is the
formal Rose Garden surrounded by mass perennial plantings looking
their very best from April through September.
The
Miniature Railway, tennis courts, bathing
beaches, a children's water park, a heated ocean side swimming pool,
Theatre Under the Stars, the Vancouver Aquarium and the 5.5 mile
perimeter Stanley Park Seawall
round out the menu of what a great public park
offers.
At the entrance to the Park you find many places to rent a
tandem bike or rollerblades. Refreshment stands along with four
restaurants are strategically placed throughout the park for your
convenience.
Dogs must be leashed at all times and visitors are asked
not to feed Park animals or birds in order to keep our wildlife
"wild".
Traffic Note: Vehicular traffic in Stanley Park is one way
