Plenty of Green Space
by jamiesno
I am sure there is an environmentalist somewhere that will disagree with my comments here but I think relative to other cities they would have to agree.
I felt after doing a lot of walking in Vancouver that the city has done an exceptional job providing green space all over the downtown area. One minute your on a typical city scene, then the next you can be in the crown jewel of Stanley Park.
But Stanley Park aside there were plenty of other areas on corners, etcetera that made walking Vancouver a lot easier on the eyes and provided nice places to take a break!

Stanley Park in Vancouver is one of the best kept and most rewarding parks i have visited,though I was seven at the time.
If I remember right, feeding the chipmonks and climbing the totam poles was a buzz.
Also ,take the sea bus across the harbour.Lovely.Reminds me of the beachcombers......The T.V. program with him out of airwolf.......or maybe not. As a kid I remember Gas town more than anything,watching the Sears tower and waiting for it to spin.
And the state line with the memorial gate,possibly in Seattle.
Hollywood North

Little be known to many of our good neighbours to the south Vancouver is actually the 3rd largest filming centre in North America. You see movie trucks all over the city 12 months a year, there's probably about 5 or 6 (or more) movies filmed at UBC alone every year. If you're into the whole celeb siting thing you can always find a set and star gaze, maybe even be an extra! Some celebs I have seen include Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder), Famke Janssen (X-Men), Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek), David Duchovny (X-Files) ian McKellan (X-Men /LOTR) and Ryan Phillipe (Cruel Intentions). Not the hugest stars but i'm not a big star gazer, just happened to see these folks while out and about in the 'couve. No the movies in brackets are not the ones they filmed here!
Stanley Park by Shuttle Bus (con't)
by eho
This picture was taken from the Siwash trail. You can get to the trail from the Stanley Park shuttle bus at the Siwash stop. By the way, all the trails in Stanley Park are very easy walks. You may have to do a lot of walking, but you certainly don't need any heavy duty hiking boots.
If you have the time, I suggest you first take the shuttle to explore the different view points of the park (like the hollow tree, Prospect Point etc). Then once you get back to the totem poles, go on to the seawall and start following the seawall walk. If you want to go right to the West End, then get off at the second beach stop.
