Shaughnessy – Vancouver Park Guide

#17: VanDusen Botanical Garden

It’s sprawling, peaceful, cut off from the rest of the city, and definitely a place worth exploring for an hour or three.

A quiet meadow in the southern part of Shaughnessy, Devonshire is a large field with not much else happening.

You can play baseball. And you can watch people play baseball. And that’s pretty much that.

It’s a symbolic park. But the symbols may be different depending on who you are.

Would one come here if they didn’t live in Shaugnessy? No, they would not.
