History of Stanley Park

 

History of Stanley Park Dedicated by Lord Stanley on October 29,1889, Stanley Park stands as a protected, forested park at the western edge of Downtown Vancouver. The Canadian Government has leased the park to the City of Vancouver for $1 per year since 1887. Over the past 100 years, the park has been a point of interest for both mariners and tourists. The Seawalk officially opened in 1971, providing one of the most scenic jogging areas in the city. Today, the park plays host to numerous attractions including the Vancouver Aquarium.
