  • The jewel of Vancouver
  • Was the highlight of my short stay in Vancouver. It is a great place to walk around and get some clean air. The wildlife is also great. I saw many peacocks hanging around the place.
  • It's amazing how clean this park is well kept considering its large size! Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Vancouver too. I recommend going there in the early morning or late evening when there are fewer crowds (plus you will able to get parking). Parking is great deal too compared to the rest of Vancouver!
