Believe it or not, Vancouver’s Stanley Park is larger than New York’s Central Park.

Explore the 400-hectare natural West Coast rainforest and enjoy scenic views of water, mountains, sky, and majestic trees along Stanley Park's famous Seawall

If you only have a few hours to explore, we suggest tackling all or part of the 8.8-kilometre (5.5-mile) section of the seawall that circles the perimeter of Stanley Park. Don’t forget your camera, because you’ll see fantastic views of downtown Vancouver, Burrard Inlet, the North Shore mountains and the Lions Gate Bridge.

If you want to experience the park the way the locals do, walk, cycle or jog around the nearly 20-mile-long Seawall that hugs Vancouver's waterfront. The path starts at the Vancouver Convention Centre and ends at Spanish Banks Beach Park. If you're not up for the walk, you'll find several bike rental companies near the park. With your bike, you'll be able to explore the more than 17 miles of forest trails that are much less crowded than the rest of the park. Travelers recommend biking the South Creek Trail, which leads to the lily pad-covered Beaver Lake. If you're not up for all that exercise, you can ride a hop-on, hop-off trolley or a horse-drawn carriage. Both guided tours (offered seasonally) include informational narration. Recent visitors said the park offers a great escape from the city and has one of the prettiest seawall walks around.

First Nations culture is an important part of the history of both Stanley Park and Vancouver. Parts of the park were the former site of a First Nations village. The totems and gateways at Brockton Point were carved in the late 1880s and replaced with lookalike versions in the 1980s to keep the originals preserved
