Create an itinerary including Stanley Park
Bike, hike, swim, and explore at Stanley Park, Vancouver's beloved recreational area. In addition to its thick forests, the historical park features large swathes of wetlands and seashores, hugely popular with nature lovers and impassioned trekkers. Giant trees hundreds of years old provide plenty of fresh air to Vancouver's downtown, while a lengthy network of paved and unpaved trails let you connect with nature and learn about the local ecology. Landscaped flower gardens serve as idyllic backdrops for snapping a few photos, and several eateries offer both indoor and alfresco dining within the park's grounds. A visit to Stanley Park represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Vancouver trip itinerary maker website to plot your vacation.

  • One of our favorite things we did in Vancouver is rent bikes and ride around Stanley Park. Beautiful views, wonderful bike paths, and gorgeous park.

  • Vancouver had a bit of a snow event prior to our visit, so a lot of Stanley Park was not conducive to walking in tennis shoes. We spent about an hour walking or driving around the park to see that...

  • Exquisite place to visit! Lots of things to do here if you enjoy sightseeing or nature. Nice to run or bike or just exercise too. lots of green space and views of the water! Must visit when you come to Vancouver! Even just chilling here for a few hours feels really good mentally.
  • Absolutely wonderful park, my family and I had a blast walking around and looking at the beautiful Vancouver skyline. I enjoyed the walk along the perimeter of the park along the water, and saw my first ever floating Chevron on the harbor! Cool totem poles, walkway, garden, geocaches, tree trunk arch, statues, informational signs, and views. The atmosphere was wonderful, with lots of families and people walking around and enjoying the wonderful Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend visiting this park if you’re in the Vancouver area!
  • Best park I visited ever. Beautiful maintained. We preferred walking over the side of water rather than taking cycles and horse carriage. A very pleasant place. Walking paths and cycling paths are separated here Our eye will lock many spots in the park like aquariums, bridges, Broadways, skyscrapers, cruises and so on. Words are not enough to describe this place. I think a single day is not enough to watch the park fully. No entrance fee.
  • Stanley Park really has the best scenery in Vancouver and quite spacious. It’s well kept and had a lot of things to check out especially as a tourist. It was quite quiet during the time I went (around 6pm). There is a lot of walking to get around however, it’s worth the long walks for these amazing views of nature. There are a lot of paid parking spots around the area and the fee isn’t too bad for a short 1 or 2 hr visit. I highly recommend visiting Stanley Park!
  • I have explored Stanley Park for years, but never get bored. It is urban, but also nature. Abundant elements and resources, such as ocean, mountain, forest, and the indigenous culture are waiting for you to experience. I love to sit there and enjoy the sunset. I love to ride a bike through the park. I love to take pictures in different seasons. Stanley Park is forever beautiful, amazing, and spectacular. Also, I believe the paradise might be the same as Stanley.
