 Stanley Park Pavillion by madamx
Stanley Park is a 1000 acre park, at Vancouver's downtown core. The gorgeous surroundings, west coast flora and fauna and majestic vistas available make it a wonderful oasis in an exciting urban setting.
Parking is $5.00 for a full day, and there is a free shuttle that circles the park with stops at the most popular sites. The bus driver/guide also makes succint commentary at each stop.
Be warned that driving around the park is only in one direction, so if you miss an area, you have to most likely circle around again, which can be stressful at times. What I recommend is actually parking at an area, and taking the shuttle bus once around, to get an idea of the stops you want to take. We found that it took some of the pressure off, and we made note of some of the places we wanted to stop.
Maps of the park are available at the information kiosk near the Vancouver Rowing Club just off Georgia Street. There is also a shuttle bus stop right across the street, with parking available close by, near the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.

 Walk way at Stanley Park with
the view of Vancouve by joiwatani, 4 more photos
There is a pavement used for skaters and there is also a walk way for just pedestrians. A separate pavement for cars (one-way street) is to the right of the walkway.
Walking is very refreshing especially around Stanley Park because of the view and because of the separated walk-ways which is very safe for tourists. Besides, there is the ocean to the right of the walk-way and the park to the left. You pass by the Totem Poles which made Stanley Park famous for, the Canadian Lady on the round rock, the Canadian-Japanese boat replica, etc. The walk is so pleasant because you can actually smell of the saltiness of the ocean breeze.
The horse-driven carriage passes you by carrying a dozen of tourists going to visit the Totem Poles. Or, some tourists in their cars are passing by enroute going to the Capilano Bridge!" Address: Stanley Park, Vancouver, CanadaDirections: North-western end of downtown Vancouver

 Stanley Park view from Grouse
Mountain by jamiesno
Stanley Park, Vancouver's first park, is an evergreen oasis of 400 hectares (1,000 acres) close to the heart of Vancouver's downtown core. Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility.
In all of my tips I have been very complementary to the amount of green space in Vancouver but this is a jewell.
Really you should plan to spend a day in Stanley Park or if you are there for a while go for shorter periods of time and explore a different part every day. It is almost 9 kilometers to walk all around the parimeter of the park.
It is simply one of the things you have to go experience in Vancouver. Please rate my tips and leave your comments. Leave a Comment

 Totems in Stanley Park by LoriPori
Stanley Park is a 1000 acre park, located in Vancouver's downtown core. There is a free shuttle that circles the park with stops at the most popular spots. Driving around the park is only in one direction, so if you miss a spot, you will have to circle around again. Ed parked near the Totem Poles, so we didn't have far to walk. Leave a Comment

 Totem Poles in Stanley
Park by JanPeter74
Around the park lies the so-called seawall with a (mostly oneway) road, footpath and bike/skatepath. You can imagine the great relaxed atmosphere on a sunny day with tourists, joggers, cyclists and inline skaters.
The park is serviced by means of several busservices to the centre of the park (the area of the Vancouver Aquarium) as well as the free Stanley Park Shuttle, which circles the park and has 14 stops along the way. When you go there by car, bear in mind that all parkings are pay-and-display, so bring coins. Leave a Comment Address: West end of Georgia Street, Vancouver
