Stanley Park is at the tip of a spit of land at the mouth of Vancouver Harbour.  For those sick of tall buildings and traffic, it is a refuge where one can go to walk for hours along shores and beaches, and explore over 27km of forested trails.

Every visit to the park can bring a new discovery, with monuments and sculptures, flower gardens, totem poles, playgrounds, breathtaking landmarks, and all manner of seasonal events scattered throughout.

Be strategic and consult a guide book, blog, or website to get an idea of what you want to see and do while visiting Stanley Park, because there is no way you can cover it all in one visit.
