Situated at the mouth of False Creek, Vanier Park is an expansive park that boasts views of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and the north shore mountains. With large open fields, a wide pathway connected to the Seawall, tranquil ponds, a public boat launch, and beach access, this spot is great for experiencing Vancouver’s waterfront.
The Vancouver Museum and Planetarium, Maritime Museum, and the City of Vancouver Archives are all located within the park, which was officially opened in 1967 and named after the Governor General of Canada at the time, George Vanier.
Also located within Vanier Park, Vancouver Ocean Sports is a not-for-profit society that offers membership for access to a variety of paddling programs and equipment, as well as providing boat storage. In addition to waterfront access, Vanier Park is home to a BMX bike park located south of the Burrard Civic Marina. It features dirt ramps, jumps, and gaps.
