#1: Stanley Park

Yes, it’s the best park in the city. No, nothing comes close. If anything, Vancouverites take it for granted.

#20: English Bay Beach

It’s so populated by tourists, and so beloved by people in the West End, that there’s always a vibrant energy to it — a great historic beach with atmosphere galore. It’s also, objectively, the least essential of all Vancouver’s major beaches.

#52: Nelson Park

Amazingly (or maybe not, given property values), Nelson Park is the only inland park between Stanley Park and Chinatown that’s a full city block large.

#125: Alexandra Park

Before there were stadiums, before there were rock concerts, before there were even radios, people gathered at Alexandra Park to hear the music play.

#130: Barclay Heritage Square

Your love for the park will depend a fair bit on how much you enjoy quaint homes from the 1910s.

#171: Morton Park

Once you’ve taken a picture though, the value of the park quickly diminishes — it’s a small space with some flags and a couple grassy pitches, but English Bay is right next door.

#225: Minipark @ Jervis & Burnaby

The Jervis and Burnaby minipark is innocuous, but it has a number of nice benches, some pleasant overhanging trees, and on a sunny day a view of English Bay.
