Stanley Park

Why go

Come for the rare contrast of dense coastal forest and open harbour scenery within reach of downtown. A seawall circuit emphasizes water and skyline views; the interior trails feel quieter and more wooded. The park is large enough that choosing one mode makes for a better visit than trying to see everything.

What to look for

• Coastal seawall with changing harbour and skyline views
• Cedar, hemlock and Douglas-fir forest in the park interior
• Beaches, wildlife and cultural landmarks within one landscape

Useful to know

• Choose either a seawall outing or an interior-trail walk unless you have most of a day.
• Cyclists follow the posted one-way flow on relevant seawall sections; pedestrians use the separate path.
• Facilities and attractions inside the park keep their own schedules.
