Stanley Park in Vancouver, B.C. is arguably one of the best urban parks anywhere.  Encompassing both wild and developed spaces, the park has gardens, play areas, an aquarium, recreational facilities, a seawall, art, cultural artifacts, and spectacular views.  Locals could spend a lifetime exploring it, and tourists have their pick of dozens of activities.  Here are 5 great things to do in Stanley Park:

1.  Drive Around It

If you do nothing else, drive around the park.  Driving through it is pleasant enough as you pass through a forest and then cross the famous Lions Gate Bridge.  However, if you turn off of 99 onto Stanley Park Drive, you travel the perimeter of the park.  You get spectacular views of the greater Vancouver area as well as Vancouver Harbor, English Bay, and the Burrard Inlet.  Along the way you can glimpse landmarks such as the Lumberman’s Arch.

All traffic around the rim of the park moves in a counterclockwise direction.  If you miss something, you’ll have to go ’round again.  If you want to stop and get out, remember that all parking in Stanley Park is pay parking.  Look for automatic pay stations that accept cash or tokens.  An app is also available to pay for parking.  If you aren’t from Canada, you’ll want to make sure you know what your provider will charge you for data in a foreign country.

2.  Walk/Jog/Bike/Skate Around The Seawall

Stanley Park has a seawall that circles it and which joins up to other paths.  It’s about 9 km (5 1/2 miles more or less) around the park.  Walkers and joggers have one lane, and bikers and inline skaters have another.  Those using mobility devices may access the path as well.  Here too, the traffic moves counterclockwise, and the views are amazing.  We have only walked small portions of the seawall and have been waiting for our kids to be old enough to think this would be fun.

Bikes are available to rent via app at the Ceperley Park playground area as well as in shops near the park.  The last time I looked, the bikes at Ceperley were $10 for the first 30 minutes, and $5 for every half hour thereafter. Helmets were included.  For a family of 5, this could get fairly expensive, so we haven’t tried this yet.  If you plan to rent with the app and you aren’t from Canada, be sure you have a plan for your phone that won’t charge you a ridiculous amount for using data in a foreign country.

3.  Take The Kids To The Park

Ceperley Park has two playgrounds, an open, grassy field, an antique firetruck you can climb on, and access to a rocky beach.  The area near Lumberman’s arch has a splash pad in the summer for kids to enjoy.  For more about the Ceperley Park Playground, please click here.

4.  Have A Picnic

Pick up something tasty, possibly from Granville Island or Nandos, and have a picnic at Stanley Park.  Picnic tables are available in several locations including Ceperely Park, Brockton Point, Lumberman’s Arch, and Third Beach.  Some covered areas are available.

5. Take A Hike!

In addition to the seawall, numerous paths criss-cross the park’s interior.  You can access both walking and biking paths.  A trail map may be found here. Some trails lead to a viewpoint, and others just wander though the forest.  Most are broad and decently maintained.  The trails of Stanley Park are viewable on Google Maps, and many are even available on Street View so you can gage whether the hike is appropriate for your party.  This more detailed (but harder to read) map includes trails with universal access which are likely to be suitable for those using mobility devices or strollers.
