Stanley Park: Space to Play in Vancouver

A popular, key feature of Vancouver’s cityscape is the extensive Stanley Park. As the city’s first and largest urban park, it remains a favourite spot for residents and tourists alike. An impressive 8 million unique visitors pass through the park each year.

Ample Space for Visitors

Stanley Park boasts ample space for activities for everyone. Measuring 10 percent larger than the famous urban Central Park, Stanley Park covers 1,001 acres. It is conveniently located on a peninsula that borders the downtown area and is surrounded by water on all other sides.

Over 500,000 trees fill the rainforest area in the center of the park, with beachfront coastline around the edges. There are miles of trails that cover pavement, dirt, and sand. Wherever your inspiration calls you to move, you’ll find the right path through Stanley Park.

Something for Everyone

Trails aren’t the only opportunities the park provides either. For families and children, there are pools, a water park, playgrounds, and even a miniature railroad to ride. For everyone else, there are restaurants, shops, and locations to get away from city life and just relax.

Home to the Vancouver Aquarium

Built in the 1950s, the Vancouver Aquarium is the largest and most highly-regarded aquarium in Canada. It is most well-known for its innovative and groundbreaking studies of whales, the inclusion of naturalists on the staff, and the facility’s insistence on keeping wild animals wild.

No matter your hobbies or interests, Stanley Park provides an ideal getaway from the bustle and daily grind of city life. From outdoor activities and unique experiences for children to fine dining and the aquarium, there is a little bit of everything. This expansive, unique space is a benefit to all residents and visitors of Vancouver—it’s a must-see. Despite being a world class city there are some downsides to Vancouver, and some areas in which tourists should try to steer clear of.
