If you travel to Vancouver you will most likely spend some time in Stanley Park. It is not merely one of the main tourist attractions, but also the Vancouverites (people who live in Vancouver) actively use this park. With a size of 404 acres,...

Vancouver is amazing, Mum and I loved the place. It's a weird juxtaposition of the outdoors, for which British Columbia is so well known, and city life...skyscraper city life. Everyone in Vancouver seemed to be fit and healthy and so when the...

My Vancouver visit in 1990 was so filled with activities (including a David Bowie concert and a minor league baseball game) that I did not have time to visit Stanley Park. I have finally redeemed myself in 2004, and you should definitely put Stanley...
