Beyond Stanley Park: Underrated Parks and Green Spaces in Vancouver

Smaller Parks

With over 240 parks in Vancouver, there is plenty of green space to explore! And, as much as we love Stanley Park and Trout Lake, there are some other hidden gems too. Our favourites: Choklit Park on 7th (a small park, with big views; and the former location of Purdy's Chocolate factory, hence the name!), the little park behind Roedde House Museum off Barclay in the West End (nice, quiet spot to read a book) and China Creek Park at 10th and Clark (filled with big, shady trees and lively playground and skate park).
