I love this park ! It’s better than Central Park in that it’s preserved in its natural state so it feels more like a forest inside. I also love that it’s along the harbor . Biking through it is the best

Open in 1888, the Stanley Park is the 3th largest urban park in north America (larger than Central Park !). Try the Seawall , enjoy the view on Vancouver’s downtown & the sea.
