The area itself spans 400 hectares of natural West Coast rainforest of beautiful trails, trees, wildlife, and more. You won’t even notice that you’re in a city. Its waterfront path right on the Pacific is a favorite for locals who enjoy hiking, biking, and rollerblading. Located right in the city center, Vancouver’s largest park is an escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The Public Market is open 7 days a week from 9am-6pm. In the summer, watch the boats, stand-up paddlers, and kayakers. There are many independent theater companies and non-profit art education centers with ongoing activities or performances.
Explore the market, grab a beer at Granville Island Brewing Company, and wander the cool shops. There is something for everyone there, from Vancouver’s first organic bakery, Artisan Sake maker, fine cheese, and Patisseries, to homemade sweet and savory tasty pies. Granville Island is a peninsula and shopping district in the middle of the city, but it’s also a hub for food and drink enthusiasts. At the summit, there are more hiking trails, rope courses for kids, a lumberjack show, and more. Try to go during the week as it gets very busy on the weekends.
It’s free to hike up but the gondola down is 20 CAD. In the summer, you can hike, and in the winter, ski or snowboard. Take the gondola up to the top where you can enjoy endless views over the city and mountains. This is Vancouver’s number one outdoor attraction and North America’s third-largest park.
