Parks in Vancouver

Vancouver's Best Parks

Vancouver’s park system spans from the massive Stanley Park, featuring a historic seawall and old-growth forests, to the landscaped heights of Queen Elizabeth Park, the city's highest point. Coastal spots like Kitsilano Beach and Spanish Banks provide saltwater swimming and mountain views, while Vanier Park serves as a cultural hub for major museums. Inland, Hastings Park offers Italian gardens and bird sanctuaries, while spaces like Everett Crowley Park and Fraser River Park showcase urban reforestation and tidal marsh ecosystems.
