Stanley Park
Events | + My Favorites
With ancient trees that tower 76 m (250 ft) above the bustling forest floor, Stanley Park is suitably known as an urban oasis abounding with natural splendour. The largest city-owned park in Canada, the 404.9 ha (1000 acre) sanctuary attracts an estimated eight million people each year.

Situated on the periphery of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park was originally designated as a military reserve by the British in the 1860's. By 1888, the park was officially leased to the Vancouver City Council and named after Governor General Lord Stanley.

In addition to the park's natural allure, there are many man-made facilities including a seawall that circles the park providing a paved path for cyclists, pedestrians and in-line skaters. Other popular attractions include the water-park, miniature rail road, outdoor theatre, sports track and Children's Farmyard, as well as the many monuments, statues and plaques, which commemorate the region's history. Stanley Park is also the site of Canada's largest aquarium.

Queen Elizabeth Park
+ My Favorites
Considered to be one of the finest public parks anywhere. The 52 hectare park was formed from two former quarries which had supplied rocks to build Vancouver's early roads. Built on a small hill known as Little Mountain, the park now commands glorious views of the city. The Quarry Gardens, Rose Garden and Arboretum are particularly notable. Golf and tennis, a restaurant and a sculpture are also featured. The park is a favourite spot for weddings.

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
+ My Favorites
These Ming Dynasty-style gardens should be one of the highlights of any trip to Vancouver. Serenity is the key here, and these high-walled gardens are the perfect haven to get away from the big city for a tranquil pause. Guided tours and complimentary tea are included with admission. Meticulously planned grounds with plants, trees, flowers and lots of flowing water will certainly restore any visitors spirits.
