Great Way To Spend Time In Vancouver.
Stanley Park is the largest urban park in Vancouver city, and must be the most visited tourist spot in Vancouver. It is bordered on all sides by the well known Seawall which has a length of about 9 km around the park.
As we walked along the path from near the public transit bus loop to the Prospect Point we were treated to many exquisite sights along the Coal Harbor section. We could see many take-off and landings of the ubiquitous sea planes. There were huge cargo ships stationed in the harbor. We saw a couple of local fishermen catch a small shark in their net. There is a lighthouse near Prospect Point, and a panoramic view of the Lion’s Gate Bridge spanning the Burrard Inlet to the harbor.
It can take up to 2 or 3 hours to walk the full perimeter of the seawall around the seawall, but one can also do the wall by bicycle, and these are available for hire at many outlets near the park. Some people were jogging and others roller skating.
All in all, a visit to Stanley Park is a must if you are a tourist in Vancouver, and even if you are a resident, the park and the seawall are great ways to exercise and spend some quality time in the fresh air.
