This is kind of the "Central Park" version of the North West of the continent. Huge park within the city. Just awesome from wherever you see it. Go to the aquarium and find the totems. Just awesome. If you go to Vancouver and don't visit Stanley Park is like not knowing Vancouver Canada.

This massive park has it all and can be discovered in so many ways. Some wonderful restaurants as well as great natural pleasures. Never tire of discovering new places in this wonderland.

We rented bikes and went around the seawall and a few of the biking trails that cut through the center of the park. It was a lot of fun and the park was pretty.

We first encounter S. Park 25 years ago intending to return. This year we did and were amazed at the changes but not dissapointed. The horse drawn carriage is a must. A bicycle for the young is recommended. Pick up a wildlife brochure and start walking. Need new shoes.

Stanley park was brilliant. It reminded me of Kings Park in Western Australia a little bit. the only big difference was Stanley park was flatter for riding a bike around. It was a great park with plenty of historical factors childrens access areas and great scenery

Beautiful, with great hiking trails, bicycling, sightseeing, and a couple of restaurants. Larger than New York's Central Park. We visited it on the Red Line of the Hop-on-hop-off trolley.

Plenty of maps to show where you are so you don't get lost in the park. Beautiful walking trails, bike trails and roads for automobile traffic. Easy to get to via public transit.
