Think Central Park -- except located on an incredible waterfront with a 5 mile seawall around its perimeter. That's Stanley Park, really and truly one of the best parks. If you haven't been to Vancouver, you haven't seen an incredible city. And if you haven't been to Stanley Park, you've missed out on one of the top city parks in... More

If you come to Vancouver and you don't spend a day exploring this park, you've missed something too spectacular to miss. If you're on foot, get yourself onto the seawall and pay attention to the lane markings. You don't want to be killed by cyclists or roller bladers by tripping into their lanes. Start at the Denman Street side and... More

Rent a bike and do the Seawall. Great place to see nature and just relax spend the afternoon here. Prospect Point has some really good photo opportunities of the Lion's Gate Bridge.

A great seawall bike ride with a well planned bike path to keep you off the roads. The park is always well kept

After breakfast take a stroll down to Stanley Park along the waterfront until you get to Denman Street. Here you're spoilt for choice for bike hire. Get a bike, grab a park map and off you go, worth every dollar

We found the Hop on Hop Off Tour a great way to see Stanley Park as the bus driver provides lots of interesting information about the park and you can get off at stops and then wait for the next bus to come along. At the most we waited about 10 minutes. We stopped at the Totem Poles and then... More
