6 of the Best City Parks Around the World

As Vancouver's oldest park, Stanley Park occupies 1,000 acres of prime waterfront real estate, with sandy beaches, protected forest, and nearly 17 miles of nature trails.

The park — named for Governor General, Lord Stanley (of the same fame as hockey's Stanley Cup) — opened to the public in 1888. The city converted a former logging operation into a pastoral setting, repurposing the old logging roads into park trails. Today, the coastal forest remains home to the giant stump of the Hollow Tree, a 600- to 800-year-old western red cedar with a hollow big enough to fit an elephant. In recognition of the land's original stewards, the Coast Salish First Nations, Stanley Park is also known for its First Nations art and totem poles on Brockton Point. The seaside meadow features a mix of replicated and original totem poles dating back to the 1880s.
