This is one of the best places in the city boundaries to enjoy nature. Despite Vancouver being surrounded by areas of sublime nature, Stanley Park is especially impressive due to its close proximity to the city centre.
The park contains 400 hectares of rainforest and dozens of beaches. It is an area of celebrated biodiversity filled with numerous Canadian species including roaming coyotes! (Just make sure to read the signs and abide by the laws of not feeding the wildlife).
There is a 28km sea wall that links Canada Place to Kitsilano but the 8.8km seawall around Stanley Park is a particular highlight. It’s a walking and bike path that curls its way around the outskirts of the park offering sublime views of the surrounding waterways and mountains. There are also many paths that criss-cross their way to different viewpoints throughout the interior.
One of the best ways to see the park is by hiring a bike to cycle your way around the network of trails. Stanley Park is filled with interesting sites and you could easily spend days seeking them all out. From the Lost Lagoon to Beaver Lake; from the Prospect Point lookout to the Siwash Rock; from the Totem Poles to Brockton Point Lighthouse.
