West End & Stanley Park

by: Amer Alkhatib

Despite being one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in North America, the West End is a quaint quarter and home to a culturally diverse and neighbourly community. It is bordered by Vancouver’s downtown core on one side, waterfronts on two, and crowned with the city’s largest and oldest park. With an abundance of restaurants, bars, and awe-inspiring outdoor spaces the West End is an obvious stop for visitors. Its charming architecture and seemingly endless tree-lined streets make it a prime choice for anyone looking to take up residence in Vancouver.

Surrounded on three sides by water and the West End on the other, Stanley Park is Vancouver’s largest and oldest city park. Its 1,000 acres of towering trees, trails, ponds, creeks, and ocean fronts will leave you speechless. The park is home to a number of attractions that deserve their own listings; among those are Beaver Lake, Lost Lagoon, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl (outdoor live music and theatre venue), Second Beach Pool, and the renowned Seawall. Seasonal events worth noting include the Halloween Ghost Train, Christmas Bright Nights, and outdoor movie nights at the Grand Lawn all summer long.
