Stanley Park, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a 405-hectare public park that occupies the northwestern half of Vancouver's Downtown Peninsula. Surrounded by the waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay, it serves as a green oasis amidst the urban landscape.
The park features an 8.8-kilometer seawall, popular for walking, jogging, cycling, and rollerblading, offering scenic views of the water, mountains, and city skyline. Stanley Park boasts several beaches, including Second Beach and Third Beach, which are ideal for swimming, picnicking, and enjoying sunsets. At Brockton Point, visitors can view a collection of totem poles, representing the art and culture of Indigenous peoples. Located within the park, the Vancouver Aquarium is Canada's largest aquarium, home to a diverse array of marine life. The park offers numerous trails through its natural West Coast rainforest, as well as beautifully maintained gardens like the Rose Garden and the Ted and Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden.
Stanley Park is accessible year-round and offers a variety of activities for all ages. Whether you're interested in outdoor recreation, cultural experiences, or simply enjoying nature, the park provides a serene escape within the city.

The park borders the neighbourhoods of West End and Coal Harbour to its southeast, and is connected to the North Shore via the Lions Gate Bridge. The historic lighthouse on Brockton Point marks the park's easternmost point. While it is not the largest urban park, Stanley Park is about one-fifth larger than New York City's 340-hectare (840-acre) Central Park and almost half the size of London's 960-hectare (2,360-acre) Richmond Park.
Stanley Park has a long history. The land was originally used by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before British Columbia was colonized by the British during the 1858 Fraser Canyon Gold Rush and was one of the first areas to be explored in the city. For many years after colonization, the future park, with its abundant resources, would also be home to non-Indigenous settlers. The land was later turned into Vancouver's first park when the city incorporated in 1886. It was named after Lord Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, a British politician who had recently been appointed Governor General of Canada. It was originally known as Coal Peninsula and was set aside for military fortifications to guard the entrance to Vancouver harbour. In 1886, Vancouver City Council successfully sought a lease of the park which was granted for $1 per year. In September 1888, Lord Stanley opened the park in his name.
Unlike other large urban parks, Stanley Park is not the creation of a landscape architect but rather the evolution of a forest and urban space over many years.[4] Most of the manmade structures present in the park were built between 1911 and 1937 under the influence of then-superintendent W.S. Rawlings. Additional attractions, such as a polar bear exhibit, aquarium, and a miniature train, were added in the post-World War II period.
Much of the park remains as densely forested as it was in the late 1800s, with about a half million trees, some of which stand as tall as 76 metres (249 ft) and are hundreds of years old. Thousands of trees were lost (and many replanted) after three major windstorms that took place in the past 100 years, the last in 2006.
Significant effort was put into constructing the near-century-old Vancouver Seawall, which can draw thousands of people to the park in the summer. The park also features forest trails, beaches, lakes, children's play areas, and the Vancouver Aquarium, among many other attractions. On June 18, 2014, Stanley Park was named "top park in the entire world" by Tripadvisor, based on reviews submitted.
