Stanley Park
Pride of Vancouver's network of parks and gardens,
Stanley Park, covering 1,000 acres (405 hectares), is one of the
largest parks in any urban centre in North America. Situated in the
heart of Vancouver's densely populated West End, stretching out on
a peninsula and surrounded on three sides by water, Stanley Park is
both a refuge for visitors seeking a brief escape from the urban
jungle, a showcase for the natural beauty that surrounds the city,
and an entertainment centre. The park is criss-crossed through its
dense rain-forest interior by miles of wide gravel paths
surrounding Beaver Lake and Lost Lagoon. It is home to hundreds of
migratory birds such as Canada geese, swans and ducks, and large
populations of racoons, squirrels, skunks and coyotes. It is also
possible to walk, jog, cycle or rollerblade around the park's 6.5
mile (10.5km) long seawall that encircles the
perimeter.
