Stanley Park

Stanley Park in Vancouver Canada is a thousand acre public park located between downtown Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge.

The park is situated on a peninsula that jets out into Burrard Inlet.

Much of Stanley Park is covered by lush west coast vegetation. Portions of Stanley Park have been developed into a rose garden, an outdoor theatre, a totem pole park and an Aquarium.

During the summer months, the city offers a free shuttle service that stops at 15 popular park attractions, including the zoo and Vancouver Aquarium.  The service operates every 12-15 minutes.

In the winter time, a small Christmas train takes children through the forest to view Christmas scenes decorated with Christmas lights. While waiting for the train, one can enjoy roasted chestnuts or take a horse and buggy ride through the forest.
