Must visit in Vancouver
North America's third-largest park draws eight million visitors per year, many of whom may skate or walk past you on the Seawall, a scenic, 5.5-mile path running along the water on the park's perimeter. It's just one of many trails among the park's 1,000 acres, which also house an aquarium, nature center and other recreational facilities.

I just loved the bike ride.
We did the seawall bike ride, which is about 10km, and it was just awesome. Out of all the activities we did in Vancouver during our trip, this was my favourite. We started just past 9am, and the weather was perfect, neither cold nor warm. We spent close to 2 hours in the park. Unfortunately, we had to sort of rush since we had to get to the hotel in time to check-out. I would recommend to keep at least 3 or more hours, so you can have a slow ride to enjoy the view, stop to take enough photos, grab something to eat, etc.

Vancouver’s Stanley Park Offers Respite From The City’s Commercial Busyness
Vancouver’s Stanley Park, located just off the city’s busy downtown core, attracts some 8 million visitors a year, it is said. That is a lot of people for the size of Vancouver & from reviews & commentators, most of those, both local & international, are impressed. Why wouldn’t they be? Vancouver’s first & largest urban park, is 1,000 acres; filled with first growth trees; surrounded by the ocean; offering great views — both internal & looking out over the inlet — with many iconic landmarks, kids activities, & the great restaurant, The Teahouse In Stanley Park. It also has a wonderful mini railway, which delights all, not just kids. I went there a few Xmas ago with my son & his family & some of their friends. It was magical, with the train tooting its way though the awesome tall trees, some of them with dustings of snow. When we immigrated here as a family in the late 80s, we often waked in it & around it on the seawall. We lived close by & as immigrants still finding our feet, it was both wonderful & without financial cost. We also cycled around it on the seawall, once with a British journalist friend on the west coast to do a documentary on the Exxon Valdese oil spill. We stopped & picnicked, & looking out at the surrounding water, were keenly aware of how important it was to keep these shores free of oil spills. It is said to be the third largest urban park in North America. No wonder it captures the imagination, & draws people to it by the million. Posted by S Fuller.
