This nearly 1,000-acre park on the tip of Vancouver’s ‘thumb’ (just north of the West End) is home to some of the city’s favourite, most-visited attractions. You could easily spend more than a day here and still not see everything this urban oasis has to offer. If you want to experience the park the way the locals do, walk, cycle or jog around the nearly 20-mile-long Seawall that hugs Vancouver’s waterfront. The path starts at the Vancouver Convention Centre and ends at Spanish Banks Beach Park. If you’re not up for the walk, you’ll find several bike rental companies near the park. With your bike, you’ll be able to explore the more than 17 miles of forest trails that are much less crowded than the rest of the park.
