Stanley Park
Stanley Park is an evergreen oasis of 1,000 acres close to the heart of Vancouver's downtown core. Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility. The Nature House, located on Lost Lagoon's south side, offers educational materials as well as seasonal walking tours.

Activities in Stanley Park
A myriad of recreational facilities are available in Stanley Park including a pitch and putt golf course bordered by the spring-blooming Ted and Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden.

The Children's Farmyard, Miniature Railway, tennis courts, bathing beaches, a children's water park, a heated ocean side swimming pool, Theatre Under the Stars, the Vancouver Aquarium and the 5.5 mile perimeter seawall round out the menu of what a great public park offers.
