Stanley Park Among World's Most Beautiful City Parks
Stanley Park, the most photographed place in Canada, has been named one of the world’s most beautiful city parks.
One of the world’s largest urban parks and easily the best urban park in Canada, Stanley Park has long since been an urban oasis for Vancouverites looking to escape quickly from the traffic and noise of the city.

Here is what Travel + Leisure had to say about our city’s crown jewel:
Stanley Park, Vancouver
The temperate rainforest of Stanley Park is almost completely surrounded by water, with both gorgeous skyline views and wild forest of 500,000 cedar, fir, and hemlock trees. It connects to the historic waterfront and downtown via a 5.5-mile portion of seawall that surrounds the park, popular with joggers, strollers, and cyclists. Rose and rhododendron gardens, nine intricately carved First Nations totem poles, a small golf course, an outdoor summer theater, a seaside swimming pool, and areas for lawn bowling round out its charms
