Stanley Park is an absolute must-visit in Vancouver. This sprawling urban park is a natural oasis that offers a wide range of activities and stunning views. Whether you’re walking or biking along the seawall, exploring the lush gardens, or taking a leisurely horse-drawn carriage ride, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The park’s towering trees, scenic bridges, and serene beaches create a sense of tranquility within the bustling city. The seawall, in particular, provides breathtaking vistas of the coastline and mountains. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the iconic totem poles and the Vancouver Aquarium within the park. Stanley Park is a haven for nature lovers, photographers, and families alike, and it’s an essential part of any visit to Vancouver.

Great park to ride bikes. Beautiful views and an unbelievable Seawall public outdoor pool, it’s huge. You will need to make reservations. This helps keep large numbers of people all at one time at the pool.

This is a must do, especially if you are lucky enough to have a clear/sunny day. We went in fall with the trees turning yellow and red, it was beautiful. We hired bikes from Yes bicycle rental, a short walk from Stanley Park. It was very reasonably priced, under $20 for 3 hours. We rode through and around Stanley Park, it was leisurely, flat and easy riding. There is a separate pedestrian walkway. There are washrooms along the way as well as places to fill your water bottle, vendors/cafes and beaches. Definitely a must do and free activity while in Vancouver!

Stanley Park is a must and whichever way you choose to see it (we hired bikes from Spokes (see other review) or on foot), it will be a great experience. You can spend as little or as much time here as you like. There are a couple of beaches along the way and an outdoor heated pool by Second Beach which is gated and has a small charge and timed sessions to get in.

Whenever I travel to Vancouver I am sure to visit Stanley Park. The last time my friend and I went through the park late at night, didn't run into many people and felt fairly safe. The view is great.

Great Sunday Walk. And I do mean walk. The drive was clogged with folks driving in on a busy Sunday and it was a mess. We walked over from the convention centre and it was perfectly enjoyable and a great way to avoid the traffic jams.

The Park enjoys an elevated position in Vancouver and, as such, has fantastic views over the City and beyond to the North Shore Mountains. The Park itself is huge and would be difficult to see every aspect in one day, however this "oasis in the City" is a welcome break from the hubbub of city life. I would recommend a visit to the Teahouse while in the park.

Stanley Park is a huge park. We went there by bus which only took a few minutes from the centre of the city. The park is a beautiful place to walk around and just enjoy the surroundings, the trees, the plants, the greenery, the amazing views, the various objects, the wonderful atmosphere. A fantastic place.

A beautiful park to walk or bike/ e-scooter around. Great views of the city and nature. You can scooter around the park (with stops) in just under 2hours. Even in winter you might spot some animals (seals in the water and some squirrels). Lovely calming time in nature inspite of lots of people.

We visited Vancouver for 3 days in July 2023 prior to an Alaska cruise and stayed in the Yaletown area which is centrally located. We rented bikes at the Reckless Bike Store across from False Creek and they set us up with routes to cycle to Stanley Park and the Seawall. We had two sunny days so we did two beautiful rides from our accommodations to Stanley Park. Each day we did routes that were about 14 miles which was perfect for a couple of old geezers. The park is spectacular! Because it was sunny lots of locals were sunning at the beaches along our routes. There are dedicated biking routes which kept us away from automobile traffic. We highly recommend a visit here.
