Stanley Park
Stanley Park is a 1000 acre peninsula surrounded by a bike path and crisscrossed with forest trails. We ride the famous Seawall bike path and stop to check out the scenic views surrounding the park. We discover majestic totem poles and learn about our Coastal First Nation's heritage and history. Heading into the forest, we may get the chance to see some local wildlife, and discover some of the unique plants that grow in this environment - including giant 600 year old cedar trees!
