One of the first stops on our tour was Stanley Park a 1,000-acre public park that borders the downtown of Vancouver. I never experienced another park quite like it and we spent a hunk of our day exploring it. There were forests, gardens, walking paths, lagoon, aquarium, playgrounds, sandy beaches, tennis courts, an 18-hole pitch and putt golf course and my favorite, a Totem Pole display. 6/7/17
