Stanley Park is a precious piece of land just 1 mile from downtown Vancouver. Surrounding this park is Pacific Ocean and somewhere in downtown is where cruise lines dock to service cruisers mostly to and from an Alaska cruise. We go here probably once a year just to hang out with a huge coffee and an equally huge muffin. Our friends Tony and Letty from the Philippines is so very enamored with this park because of its beauty. Whenever they are in Vancouver visiting their children who live here, we go here to enjoy a picnic. We bring lots of food, coffee and tea and a camping stove to boil water to enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Stanley Park is a 404.9 hectares (1,001 acres) urban park bordering downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was opened in 1888 by David Oppenheimer in the name of Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor-General of Canada.[1]
It is more than 10% larger than New York City's Central Park and almost half the size of London's Richmond Park.[2] The park attracts an estimated eight million visitors every year,[3] including locals and tourists, who come for its recreational facilities and its natural attributes.
