Green activity that enhances the living environment of residents
Conclusion
This is a great outdoor option for those staying in the southern part of Vancouver or do not necessarily want the mountain slopes and views but still find Stanley Park too urban. In our opinion however, this is much more a park for residents to enjoy rather than for tourists with limited time in the city.
Key positive
Good hiking or running option near the city centre
Many scenic spots and well-maintained trails
Key negative
None
Suitability
The Heron, Imperial and Cleveland trails have a packed-gravel surface with a few slopes, making them partially accessible for wheelchair users.
