About Stanley Park
Stanley Park is an expansive, centuries-old urban park that feels like a rainforest by the sea. It offers miles of trails through towering cedars and firs, cultural sites, beaches and formal gardens, all minutes from downtown.
Visitors commonly bike or walk the Seawall that skirts the park’s edge for uninterrupted skyline and mountain views, stop at the Totem Poles display to learn about First Nations art, or relax at beaches and picnic spots. Expect abundant wildlife, interpretive signage and multiple lookout points including Prospect Point and Brockton Point Lighthouse.
